What's so revolutional in Broadcom BCM20730 Bluetooth chip that's everywhere in the n - GSM-Forum

Trade magazines are full of reports about Broadcom BCM20730 Bluetooth chip that is expected to have power consumption so low that devices will work for years of a single battery set. Here is their press release.

I don't get it. Yes, power efficiency is important, but chip manufacturers have been designing energy efficient chips for decades so far and modern computers and smartphones are full of those chips. Now some company claims they have some extremely efficient chip. How is that possible?

How is any kind of drastic improvement possible in such design?
