Cyclone 3 vs Cyclone 3 LS Power Dissipation

The Cyclone 3 was originally 65 nm, but went through a die shrink to 60 nm after the Cyclone IV came out.

(Remember seeing a notice about it, and it).

That being said I'm sure the tools still use the 65 nm Power numbers, since there are both 65 and 60 nm parts out there.

It sounds like the Cyclone 3 LS has always been 60 nm. So it's probably shows some better power numbers. (At one point I think they said it was marketed as the "Low Power" family members for Cyclone III, but that has since changed.
