No, just the other way around. A higher reference divider results in a lower post divider and a lower feedback divider and that in turn results in a lower voltage and lower power consumption. But the over all power consumption of a PLL compared to the whole system or even the GFX block is completely neglitable. I would guess something between a 1/1000000 and 1/100000 of a Watt compared to a couple of Watt for the whole system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
