We have a firmware update in testing to improve shut down (S5) drain. For s0ix, we are investigating firmware paths to reduce power consumption. The card itself actually does go to into a low power state, but the USB4/TBT4 retimer stays in a higher power state. That is something we were able to fix in a combination of hardware and firmware on the new 12th Gen Intel Core systems for s0ix/Modern Standby. We're investigating paths to improve this that would work for 11th Gen as well, but nothing final yet.
- ZeroCool2u 4y agoCongrats on the launch! FW is on my shortlist for my next laptop. Would you consider having someone on the team do a more in depth technical write-up of the work that went into the battery life optimization? I'd personally be very interested in reading that as a long time Linux laptop user.
