There's no reason it couldn't be. The parts in your cell phone all have 
individually-controlled power so they can be turned off for the miliseconds 
you're not using them to make the battery last longer. I wouldn't be 
surprised if people worried about it enough (at least the heat if not the 
power consumption) that Intel went and added such to the separate cores.
