First energy usage is not watts, second you can look via tools like hwinfo or others how much power your cpu draws. Where did i say it would draw 6.5w at 10%?

Dude go measure your cpu usage while scrolling a site i can watch a high res video with cpu usage under 10% measuring the difference between no active program and only the os is nearly impossible. Why dont you go and log your cpu power for doing this vs only your os running and report back? If your cpu usage keeps being above say 25% while loading a normal site without funky stuff going on, something is weird. Also keep in mind that even if one of your cores is boosting for a second you cpu usage as a whole over time is still low and low power draw at low clocks will benefit you.

Yea exactly, you load a page your cpu will boost for 1% of the time you spend on that page while loading it and then idle at a few Mhz for your os. I dont get the “it doesnt idle”. With a slim linux system it propably idles a lot more than with win11.

If the system is powered the cpu is always doing something. Idle doesnt mean that your pc is off it just means no “real” load. Modern cpus are so powerfull that browsing the web is no real cpu load. It may be a few % difference than just the os itself but windows backround tasks will propably make more impakt on the cpu load.

Enlighten me! When is a cpu idleing?

Ahh yes idle=not using computer and using computer=100% cpu usage. There is no such thing as “reading a pdf document” or “surfing the web”.

Nah all the am4 cpus have abysmal idle power, the am5 got a little better as far as i know but the infinity fabric was a nightmare for the idle power.

Idle power is the only thing they are good at, but for a homeserver a used older cpu is good enough.

You are a absolut genious. You say that it was just “recently” used as a slur and before then a “normal” description. Well have you thought about the fact that when it was used, our society looked at böack people as inferrior, wilds or animals? Hell there were different indigenouss people in fucking zoos up to the 1940-50. Really weird that one would think that the totally neutral word to desscribe black people by others who think they are animals is maybe not that neutral. You propably are one of those people who think there is no language or context in language.

Lol maybe read the wikipedia article about it if you didnt know what the kontext of the word was and how it was used?

Also the time it would take to build new power plants and get them to run would be something lile 20-25 years. We dont have that much time to get a grip on climate change so it doesnt matter annyways. Either we get 100% renewables untill then or we are fucked annyways.
