Yes!


80C51 Family Hardware Description, p19, said:
CMOS Power Reduction Mode

CMOS versions have two power reducing modes, Idle and Power
Down. The input through which backup power is supplied during
these operations is VCC. Figure 23 shows the internal circuitry which
implements these features. In the Idle modes (IDL = 1), the oscillator
continues to run and the Interrupt, Serial Port, and Timer blocks
continue to be clocked, but the clock signal is gated off to the CPU.

In Power Down (PD = 1), the oscillator is frozen. The Idle and Power
Down Modes are activated by setting bits in Special Function
Register PCON. The address of this register is 87H. Figure 24
details its contents.

Some (many? most?) newer derivatives add further "power reducing modes" - see specific documentation for details...
