Resonant clock design for a power-efficient high-volume x86-64 microprocessor

AMD's 4+ GHz x86-64 core codenamed "Piledriver" employs resonant clocking to reduce clock distribution power up to 24% while maintaining a low clock-skew target. To support testability and robust operation at the wide range of operating frequencies required of a commercial processor,...
