The power optimization step is so we can judge how many cores to put on a single chip. You wouldn't want the thing melting after all! This design is mostly flip-flops which use most of the power in a chip so we need to careful here to get it right!

Agreed, a mining rig that overheats isn't a very useful mining rig. Did you see the giant heatsink on the Butterfly Labs unit that Ars just unboxed? It's GIANT! http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/05/weve-got-a-butterfly-labs-bitcoin-miner-and-its-pretty-darn-fast/
