That really surprising since my 8th gen intel laptop (2 generations older than ice lake) idled at under 5W in Linux. So does my newer 12th gen intel laptop.
- paulmd 2y agoI would assume that’s packagd power and I mean total system power, using the “stats” cask with the average system power sensor. I will play with it and see if I can get package power. But the overall point is that even looking at total system power - the apple silicon is silly efficient. It’s actually meaningfully better than x86 in literally every way you choose to measure it.
