Low Power Design
Consider below scenario: If you have designed one smartphone very faster and less area. speed is very high (no lag) also response is quicker. but what if the device getting discharged within 30min ? will you buy that smartphone ..? I am assuming your answer would be a big "NO" (unless you have figured out way to reduce battery usage...!! ) Well, there are multiple such scenarios possible if you start counting... that's why requirement of "Low Power" comes into picture. Low Power : significance for advanced technology mode designs, as frequency is very high which leads to high switching which consumes more dynamic power (internal + switching power). Also as devices shrinks, Leakage is more compared to older node which leads to Leakage (or standby) power. Thus in lower noes, along with smaller area and higher speed, it is really important to Low power.
