- loeg 7y agoFWIW, loaded battery life is intrinsically linked to the thermal / cooling aspect of CPU performance discussed in the article. Mechanically, CPUs are just simple resisters converting stored battery energy into heat. Idle battery power is also interesting, and even the older Zen 1 had pretty good reduction in power consumption at idle (C1).
- baybal2 7y agoIntel still best on idle power use because of on package regulator, and still better powergating

[2]: Used to work there, played a minor part in enabling IDC to integrate the FIVR IP.
- sudosysgen 7y agoSure, but how long does a laptop actually stay on idle and not a sleep state or low power state (doing something)?
