that it can be used to make transistors that consume 100,000 times less energy in standby state

Ok, that's when it's not doing anything. Is there any benefit when it is actually doing its job?

The article doesn't say but there may not be any benefit when in an active state. It may be that the standby state is the predominant state but I don't know. I suspect that the circuits in my PC are mostly in standby cuz I'm a boring guy.
