My AM4 box draws 0 watts on idle. I turn it off when I don’t use it
Comment on Bye Intel, hi AMD! I’m done after 2 dead Intels

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”.

Browsing the web is not idle

Enlighten me! When is a cpu idleing?

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.

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