    Abstract: An apparatus for managing a power consumption of processor or memory circuitry comprising a plurality of processing or memory functional units may be provided. The processor or memory circuitry is arranged to receive electrical power from an alternating current, AC, power source or a battery. The apparatus comprises processing circuitry to: based on an indication that the processor or memory circuitry is receiving electrical power from the AC power source, selectively cause operational electrical power to be provided to a first number of the functional units of the processor or memory circuitry. The processing circuitry is further to: based on an indication that the circuitry is receiving electrical power from the battery, selectively cause operational electrical power to be provided to a second number of the functional units of the processor or memory circuitry, the second number being less than the first number.
