The unused logic part isn't exactly true. The way FPGA's are built doesn't allow for unused sections to be completely shut off. Instead of dark silicon it's more like grey silicon. The unused parts of the chip still use substantial power, unlike ASIC where these unused portions simply wouldn't exist
