Dual path sequential element to reduce toggles in data path

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for a dual path sequential element to reduce toggles in data path are described. In an embodiment, switching logic causes signals for a single data path of a processor to be directed to at least two separate data paths. At least one of the two separate data paths is power gated to reduce signal toggles in the at least one data path. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
