it's not just area, it's also powering the machinery. If you could turn it off for workloads that don't need it, you could achieve a reducing in power consumption. It would be better to also save the area, but perhaps a tradeoff if worth it?
- rbanffy 3y agoUnpowered silicon is great for power management as well. In order to heat up the chip, you'll also need to heat up those dark areas, allowing you to push more power for longer (in comparison with a design with zero spare transistors).
