I totally agree with your core point. We definitely needs to be more responsible with how we design next generation computing chips. We need to think about power consumption especially in current world where climate change, power/resource shortages are looming large at horizon.

But that’s exactly Nvidia has been doing over the last 9 years???

Even for the same process, they’ve improved efficiency for the same workloads.

And indeed NVidia placed a big emphasis on how much more power efficient this chip is for its intended workloads than an equivalent CPU based render farm, using less than 10% of the power.
