Surely it's at least a different power bill on modern hardware depending on what the hardware is computing, right?
Have you checked power consumption? Might be an excuse to switch!
Is there a power consumption comparison?
"270W of Integrated Computing Power" - that's nothing, my old Celeron was 300 watts!
They run laptop components so try more like 5-15W normally
Idle power draw is not the same as peak power draw either, these arent 'nineties chips.
In general, how does CPU utilization correlate with CPU power draw?
75w is nuts actually. I measured my _desktop_ setup about 10 years ago including two monitors and idle was around 35w. It also doesn't make sense to include idle of all peripherals since you would be using them for chatgpt as well.
For something running at 5-6W while idle, this is not a small difference.
Has anyone found info on power consumption? Still 100+ W?
