btw. my m1 mac barely goes over 40 w TOTAL power (whole machine) heck watching prime video my total power is at ~10w total power. trust me no matter which ryze

trust me no matter which ryzen/intel processer you will never be as low as 10w total power.
I'm pretty sure the biggest intel/amd desktopn cpu is faster than a m1 pro/ultra, m2 pro/ultra but there is no amd64 processer with the same efficiency than the m1/m2 macs.
- the_pwner224 4y agoTry rereading my comment. Your M1's 40 W total power is not special, the 6800U does that with roughly the same performance. My 7 year old i7 laptop used 5 W idling with a few applications open and the screen at max brightness. I don't know what a modern non-Apple laptop uses when watching video, but 10 W seems about right.
- deaddodo 4y ago> btw. my m1 mac barely goes over 40 w TOTAL power (whole machine) The v2718 is an embedded Zen2 SoC with a Vega GPU that totals 10-25wCDP. Adding RAM and a main board to that might add 10w, give or take. > heck watching prime video my total power is at ~10w total power. Watching video is probably one of the most efficient tasks you can do these days, especially since most of it is offloaded to specialized decoders in the GPU (of which AMD, Apple, nvidia, Intel, etc all provide). > trust me no matter which ryzen/intel processer you will never be as low as 10w total power. They literally exist. There’s just no market for them. The sweet spot for PC users is around 15-25w for laptops. The loss in performance below that is generally something people are dissatisfied with.
- goosedragons 4y agoI can get under 8W playing Morrowind on the Steam Deck. The CPU and GPU use less than 2W while playing.
