The article focuses on the significance of slow computing to control transistor switching in microprocessors resulting in lowering the voltage and manage energy consumption. Topics discussed include use of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) to operate at a lower voltage, use of registers-logic gates to hold data values that retain their contents when the supply voltage is removed, and aspects of double-gate transistor built onto a silicon-on-insulator in microprocessors.
