Abstract
The invention relates to a method of designing a processor core arrangement which comprises a first processor core for operation at a first operation frequency and having an associated first leakage and a second processor core for operation at a second operation frequency lower than the first operation frequency and having an associated second leakage lower than the associated first leakage. The processor core arrangement is capable of switching from the first processor core to the second processor core and vice versa.
