Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

I just revisited and by bulk setting everything to "good" maybe there is a ~1 W difference if I squint at the averages. "AMD things" perhaps.

I think the CPU number in btop correlates to the package power. My thought is that maybe moving from a 95W CPU to a 35W would cut the power in half. That would be ~10W on a 5650GE but not the 3W on a 5825U.

Hmm, I think I just talked myself out of that 5650GE in my aliexpress shopping cart. Ha.

Did you try PowerTOP "tunables" tab ?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?

i5-6400 + R6600: 2.8W + 3W ~= 6W
i7-10750H + GTX1650 Ti Mobile: 4.3W + 3W ~= 7.5W
i7-11700k + RTX4070S: 14.7W + 6.25W ~= 21.5W
i7-10700K + GTX1060-3GB: 1.1W <?!> + unknown (toss these value - can't be correct)
Ryzen 5 3600X: 20W
i7-3770k + 7800XT: 7.5W + 0W <?!> Can't be correct.

And from someone in this thread that provided:

5825U: < 3W

Yeah, I think there are gpu libs required for that. Not a big deal - it'll be low if not in use anyway. 🙂

Thanks a bunch.

Does your version of btop have the GPU value in it?
