There's a lot of variables at play with idle power consumption, so the devil is in the details with what is actually being compared.
- paxys 3y agoPlus the manufacturer published TDP numbers are with a baseline load, not 100% idle and as optimized as possible (because at that point you might as well turn the device off).
- kube-system 3y agoIf I'm reading this correctly, I think the article is citing 'typical' (i.e. what other people said) idle power consumption measured at the wall for similar N100 PCs. TDP something different: it is typically a term to describe the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated from a chip while under load. While it is a number that is closely related to the power consumption, it is neither the same thing, nor would those numbers ever cite the total consumption of the system. (because, for instance, most components in a computer are passively cooled)
