That timestamp is where they address this issue. It seems the argument is that in sleep mode (low power modes), the system will draw overall less power with ATX12VO vs today's standards.
Further, if you go directly to the specs: https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products-and-solutions/processors-and-chipsets/alder-lake-s/atx12vo-12v-only-desktop-power-supply-design-guide/2.0/power-supplies-and-alternative-low-power-mode/ https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products-and-..., you can see they talk about ALPM (alternative low power mode) which seems to be the reasons for this design.
- hakfoo 3y agoAll these more and more complex sleep modes on desktop seem like they're solving problems people don't have. I thought we solved suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disc years ago; wasn't the point of the +5VSB rail to keep stuff like RAM refresh going? Maybe on laptops where people are regularly suspending them, it's a bigger deal, but those are using bespoke power solutions and so ATX12VO solves nothing. If it's so desperately vital that they have some "it's low-power, but still doing something like checking for notifications" mode, couldn't this be done with a mini-coprocessor with the specs of a RasPi 1 running on +5VSB?
