As we scale down to the nanometer scale, leakage power becomes a significant portion of the total power consumption. This is problematic for several reasons:
Battery Life: Increased leakage power drains battery-operated devices faster. Thermal Management: Excessive leakage power can lead to overheating, which can degrade the performance and reliability of the device. Cost: Managing leakage power requires more sophisticated cooling solutions, which increase the cost of the device.
