Two GPUs, one way more power efficient? How?...

Both the same process size.
Second one double pretty much everything. Yet way less power consumption? How is this possible?

TSMC has more than one 28nm process.

HP HPM HPL LP
0.85 0.9 1.0 1.05V

TechInsight is the company that used to dip chips in
acid, remove the outer layers, and use an electron microscope
on what is inside. They would sometimes provide tech data
for patent enforcement cases in court (\"you stole my
ring oscillator!\").

No, two other reasons:

1) I don\'t give a shit.
2) If I couldn\'t pirate it and couldn\'t afford it then I wouldn\'t buy it anyway, so I\'m not costing them anything.

Stop being a fucking goody two shoes and get with the rest of the world! Do you know how many million people use piratebay? Do you know how many people used my illegal FTP server for films which weren\'t even out yet at my work\'s expense? Fuck off.

I\'m the guy who took the harsh punishment, for casually copying (which
is distinct from warez) Windows XP, like a man, 20 years ago and

As I thought, you broke your own rule, so you have no right to tell me I\'m wrong.

\"Casually copying\" is your way of saying \"warez\". You did the same as me, so shut the fuck up.

Wrong. My mom bought a retail copy of the WinXP upgrade, and we
installed it on two computers *very briefly*, because of the problems
we encountered. I ended up buying *another* copy. When did you
correct your error for using *actual* warez, by paying for a license?
Answer: not to date, and given your callous attitude, probably never.

No you don\'t. You said yourself you wouldn\'t pay for it even if you
couldn\'t pirate it.

So you\'re saving nothing.

The people who I knew doing that sort of chip reverse engineering work
tended to be using an imaging Cameca ion probe system and plasma etch.
It can not just image the surface but also the dopants all the way down.

Limited field of view so you have to choose wisely or wreck several
chips. I was never really convinced it was ethical but it was certainly
profitable for the players that had perfected the technique.

It is interesting that the makers don\'t list this usage in their
application notes although it isn\'t dissimilar to geological specimens.

Fuck ethics, do good for all and make better stuff.

The first one dates from 2013 and has half the silicon area and half the number of transistors.

It is clearly a different design from the second one dated 2015. If you\'ve got more transistors to play with you can do more complicated stuff, and some of that was presumably devoted to reducing the power consumption. Guessing exactly what anybody might be doing with a couple of billion transistors would be rather like trying to work out how a human being works by looking at the three billion discrete elements in the human genome.

That is not entirely true, actually. Once I realized that Microsoft
was going to enforce the one device rule, I accepted that, and
continued using their product, buying another copy, because I learned
from it. When did you ever buy your copy?

You could kill someone below the speed limit, too, it\'s called not
being reckless and losing control of the car. That\'s where the most
accident deaths come from, is when people drive like a complete idiot
and the car doesn\'t keep up with their shitty operating.

My point is that you seem to think it\'s like a game. You think that
Microsoft is this corporate entity to be taken advantage of, because
you\'re the little guy, but in reality, if no one paid for software,
you\'d be stuck with only free software. You\'re trying to have it both
ways.
