> 100W when idle That's significantly off - my Skylake desktop PC idles around 15-25W (I just checked with a kill-a-watt).

  Hmm, I've always used 100W as a reference. Maybe I got that from server estimates?

    My dual socket Xeon desktop half a decade ago idled at 94W.

    That would be more like it. 100W for an idle desktop/laptop PCs sounds pretty high.

    It used to be a good estimate not so long ago. Things have improved dramatically recently You see the same on laptops. Each generation seems to come with a smaller wattage brick
