Similar for DDR5? In the context of a N100, 3W is actually pretty high. Many of these systems idle around 10W.

- flyingpenguin 2y agoYeah but unless you are deploying a bunch of them, its only like $3/year each
- snovv_crash 2y agoThat's why many laptops run LPDDR these days.
- spockz 2y agoMy N100 from minisforum runs on 3.6W idle with 4-8W for medium to high cpu usage to 20W on full load with SSD, CPU, and integrated encoder loaded. It is way more powerful than a pi and in low power mode as efficient.
- fswd 2y agoI probably have the same N100 miniforums and can only get it down to 7w. Is it possible you could share how you got it down to 3.6W and 4-8W? I just got this N100 a few weeks ago, have it on a killawatt next to my desk.
- spockz 2y agoThere are many tips here: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2096876 https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2096876 but I think the thing that did the trick was simply `powertop —-auto-tune`. I also disabled the wifi in the bios. I ran for a bit with turbo disabled which lowered the consumption a tiny bit and severely limited the peak usage, but it also made the system slow overall. So I enabled it again and now sometimes usage spikes but feels snappy. I’m running Fedora.
- AshamedCaptain 2y agoI have a ASUS PN40 and I got it to idle at 1.8W just by installing a Linux distro with almost no tuning whatsoever. (Just installing tlp which was at the time part of the suse laptop metapackage).
