- nickpsecurity 11y agoGood point. There's still a potential loss for them if that final synthesis phase creates a performance or energy usage advantage for them. I haven't seen any experiments to find out. I do know, outside of device characteristics, they mainly compete on how well their EDA tools utilize them.
