The importance of Clocked Storage Elements:
 |
In a 2 GHZ processor,
typically clocked storage element (CSE) D-Q is in the order of 100-150 ps
|
|
If one can design a
faster CSE (e.g. 80 ps - 100 ps D-Q delay), this represents 10% - 15%
performance improvement
|
|
If in addition can
absorb 20 ps of clock uncertainty and embed one level of logic, this can yield
up to 20% improvement
