摘要:
A computer system includes a first processor, a second processor, and interprocessor communication logic (ICL). The first processor operates at a higher frequency, includes a more advanced micro-architecture, and consumes more power than the second processor. When the computer system is plugged in, the first processor is selected as the primary system processor. When the computer system is powered by a battery, the second processor is selected as the primary system processor. The second processor and the ICL may be integrated together on the same semiconductor chip.
