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

Dude go measure your cpu usage while scrolling a site i can watch a high res video with cpu usage under 15% measuring the difference between no active program and only the os is nearly impossible. Why dont you go and log your cpu power for doing this vs only your os running and report back? If your cpu usage is above say 25% while loading a normal site without funky stuff going on something is weird.

The CPU usage is 10%, but the energy usage is NOT 6.5 watts (with 65 watts being 100% usage)
That’s not how CPU usage works

First energy usage is not watts, second you can look via tools like hwinfo or others how much power your cpu draws. Where did i say it would draw 6.5w at 10%?

Just checked the laptop first:
It’s 9.8w on idle (including laptop screen and RAM and everything) and 16.8w scrolling a website
That’s 50% more power usage. Over 20 seconds up from 196 J to 316 J
