Wouldn't that only really apply while doing intensive memory accessing. Something that you would probably only be doing a very small percentage of time.

- fnord77 5y agono - simply refreshing memory state costs power. The DRAM memory refresh cycle happens about every 60ms. In the background, memory cells are constantly read and rewritten. Power consumption adds up pretty quickly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_refresh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_refresh
- kcb 5y agoSure but that is not peak power consumption. The charts I'm seeing for DRAM power consumption are based on the gbps.
