For any sort of mobile device energy-usage per computation is an important metric. Hence you have chips with multiple low power modes which can trade off different amounts of computational power with different amounts of power efficiency.
- solve 12y agoBut ASIC is 100x better than FPGA for energy per computation. Know of any mobile devices that have FPGAs on them now?
- _yosefk 12y agoIt's not fair to compare a programmable circuit with a fixed-function circuit though, because programmability is often a requirement.
- skaevola 12y agoSure: http://www.eejournal.com/archives/articles/20131118-lattice/ http://www.eejournal.com/archives/articles/20131118-lattice/ But you're right - when programmability isn't important you'd rather have an ASIC.
