    摘要: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) physical layer, a clock generator and a control unit. The SATA physical layer is configured to provide connection with an SATA device and perform data transmission with the SATA device is performed at a first clock frequency. The clock generator is configured to provide a clock signal having the first clock frequency to the SATA physical layer. When at least one specific event is detected by the control unit, the control unit controls the clock generator to provide the clock signal having a second clock frequency to the SATA physical layer, so that the SATA physical layer performs data transmission with the SATA device at the second clock frequency. The second clock frequency is lower than the first clock frequency.

    摘要: A microprocessor includes a plurality of registers that holds an architectural state of the microprocessor and an indicator that indicates a boot instruction set architecture (ISA) of the microprocessor as either the x86 ISA or the Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) ISA. The microprocessor also includes a hardware instruction translator that translates x86 ISA instructions and ARM ISA instructions into microinstructions. The hardware instruction translator translates, as instructions of the boot ISA, the initial ISA instructions that the microprocessor fetches from architectural memory space after receiving a reset signal. The microprocessor also includes an execution pipeline, coupled to the hardware instruction translator. The execution pipeline executes the microinstructions to generate results defined by the x86 ISA and ARM ISA instructions. In response to the reset signal, the microprocessor initializes its architectural state in the plurality of registers as defined by the boot ISA prior to fetching the initial ISA instructions.
