As temperature increases, leakage increases exponentially. TSMC [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co] projects that leakage consumes about 50% of the total power. We've asked our customers implementing designs on 90-nm silicon, and they are seeing that leakage consumes 25 to 40% of power. In moving to 65 nm, we expect 50 to 70% of total power will be lost through leakage.
