Are you talking about processor's C-states? My old 6th gen i3 stays most of the time idling around C8, averaging 5w, really impressive, I suppose newer gens will be even more efficient
- jeffbee 1y agoC8 is a good state if you can get it. Intel is really good at this. They don't even bother energizing the L3 caches immediately when exiting deep package C-states. But there are lots of conditions that will inhibit C8, notably an Ethernet link on a NIC capable of PTP. This is why wireless is better.
- xioxox 1y agoAlthough Intel processors are efficient, modern AMD processors have much higher idle power usage, due to their chiplet design. They typically use at least 20W more power.
