Perhapse not with Nvida or AMD, but it sure has with ARM and Intel's chips. The next couple of years should show be interesting. Didn't Nvidia show that in a year or two they will have a 40x reduction in power soon? Here is an other Intel chart. They have a few Haswells that hit the 6.5 watt (total.) |
ARM has only because they were late to 28nm. They should have had that in 2012.
Intel's Ivy Bridge was 2012, Haswell is not a perf/watt improvement, and Broadwell/14nm isn't coming to desktops.
Nvidia are known for outright lying on charts.
No, the Haswells will not hit 6.5W. That's "scenario design power", i.e. make believe "typical" use numbers. Even TDP is lying. Intel don't even publish true max power numbers any more.
Also, note PERF/watt. Simply lowering power by lowering performance does not count. Intel could make a 0.1W chip if they wanted, it just wouldn't boot Windows.
