There's of course extensive clockgating around the chip, but obviously the big change is power gating which AMD hasn't had up to this point (Bobcat is also power gated).
SMU module adopts the clock-gating method was applied to the survivor path storage block, reduce the survivor path storage memory power dissipation effectively.
在幸存路径管理模块采用门控时钟的方法,有效地降低了对幸存路径存储部分的功耗。

For RISC processer, clock-gating can reduce power by 18.8%.
