How the current was measured
•For this study a 40 MHz Intel 486DX2-S CPU was used with
4MB of DRAM.
•Although the numbers in this report are specific to this
processor, the methodology used in the model is widely applicable.
•The
current was measured using a standard, dual-slope integrating digital ammeter.
