When it’s not doing anything

If the system is powered the cpu is always doing something. Idle doesnt mean that your pc is off it just means no “real” load. Modern cpus are so powerfull that browsing the web is no real cpu load. It may be a few % difference than just the os itself but windows backround tasks will propably make more impakt on the cpu load.

My CPU boosts to 4Ghz at 1.5V loading a website
That’s hardly nothing. When it’s not doing anything it goes back to 500Mhz at less than 1V
The CPU is not doing anything when the system is turned on! I don’t run Windows spyware so it only does something when it’s told

Yea exactly, you load a page your cpu will boost for 1% of the time you spend on that page while loading it and then idle at a few Mhz for your os. I dont get the “it doesnt idle”. With a slim linux system it propably idles a lot more than with win11.
