Mobile processor

<p>A mobile processor is a <a href="/facts/Microprocessor/Fx9CaQht">microprocessor</a> designed for <a href="/facts/Mobile_computer/eHT86bQU">mobile devices</a> such as <a href="/facts/Laptop/3EFwTAb2">laptops</a> and <a href="/facts/Cell_phone/H3EcqD9h">cell phones</a>.
</p><p>A CPU chip is designed for portable computers to run <a href="/facts/Fanless_computer/rCq39U1M">fanless</a>, under 10 to 15W, which is cool enough without a fan. It is typically housed in a smaller chip package, but more importantly, in order to run cooler, it uses lower voltages than its <a href="/facts/Desktop_computer/edFPINdK">desktop</a> counterpart and has more <a href="/facts/Sleep_mode/lj6HSbyU">sleep mode</a> capability. A mobile processor can be throttled down to different power levels or sections of the chip can be turned off entirely when not in use. Further, the <a href="/facts/Clock_frequency/w055Woaj">clock frequency</a> may be stepped down under low processor loads. This stepping down conserves power and prolongs <a href="/facts/Rechargeable_battery/A6zUkPkW">battery life</a>.
