-> But most CPUs are not `static designs'. This means that the internal registers

-> refresh cycles on DRAM.
Most CPU's also have a low power mode where the clock speed is reduced to save
power. If their registers don't suffer from that, why would they suffer from
a lower clock induced by something else?
