Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels

  Was that even true for comparable CPU’s? I feel this was only for their N100’s etc.

    Nah all the am4 cpus have abysmal idle power, the am5 got a little better as far as i know but the infinity fabric was a nightmare for the idle power.

      Well I concede, I guess there was one metric they were better at. Doing absolutely nothing.

      My AM4 box draws 0 watts on idle. I turn it off when I don’t use it

        Like turn off the PSU switch? Computers can draw more than you think when they’re “off”, but the PSU switch should shut out the whole thing.

        Ahh yes idle=not using computer and using computer=100% cpu usage. There is no such thing as “reading a pdf document” or “surfing the web”.

      What about the monolithic socs? Idle power on my 5825u is better than my i5-1135g7. My i7-8650u is in between.

        The problem is just the infinity fabric that connects the chiplets. Afaik this is because its clock runs at a consstant speed and its made on a way bigger node. The monolithic parts dont have that problem.
