FPGAs cut power and cost
Compared with other FPGAs of similar density that typically consume more than a watt of standby power, the EP3C120 devices consume less than 200mW standby power.
Altera has begun shipping the EP3C120, the largest member of its new low-cost 65nm Cyclone III FPGA family Consuming only a fraction of the power needed by other FPGAs of comparable capacity, the EP3C120 is ideal for a broad range of applications requiring both high integration and low power, such as wireless communications infrastructure, software defined radio, and video processing and imaging
