A power consumption control method for a multicore CPU containing a plurality of cores each occupying a memory with partial array self refresh mode. The method includes making, when a core in the multicore CPU enters a power save mode, another core in the multicore CPU compress data in the memory occupied by the core entering the power save mode, store back compressed data in the memory, and control the memory to perform refresh operations to one or more banks retaining the compressed data.
