More transistors comes from smaller transistors -- not bigger dies. Smaller transistors use lower voltage. And power usage is proportional to V^2.
So for a given amount of computation, power goes down a lot due to Moore's law.
- bryanlarsen 13y agoThis is much less true now than it has been in the past, due to current leakage effects.
