> Or really basically anywhere that has you interacting with the real world directly connected to your compute, and not just compute off in a datacenter.

Which, at least in mass-market applications, mostly happens on phones and other battery-powered devices. :)

Or the dozens of other devices in your house that have the benefit of mains voltage.

I don't think perf per watt was a differentiator in the compute chosen for your TV, your monitor, your AV receiver, your fridge, etc.

Yes, but none of these things use significant compute.

Monitors and TVs absolutely do.

And it's not unheard of for them to have FPGAs for that reason.

I guess one could consider the video hardware decoder a FPGA, although I would bet that the smart models just use a GPU in some SOC model instead.

No, there are literal FPGAs in some TVs and monitors. It happens more often on early runs on new tech. You don't need to rename something else.

But many, many important applications are not mass-market.
