130nm is almost 20 years old at this point. You can do amazing things with this process but saving power is probably not one of them.
- garmaine 6y agoBut as an example, you WOULD be able to profitably mine bitcoin on 130nm ASICs if all the rest of the world had was CPUs/GPUs/FPGAs, which was more what the grandparent post was asking: 130nm hardware implementations can be much, much faster and/or energy efficient than a 7nm general-purpose chip which simulates the algorithm.
