I hate the AMD idle wattage. Is the support for it a meme?

both intel and AMD support open source development, hope that helps OP!
I wanted to like Ryzen but the laptop I got with it just drains battery and can game a bit better but not worth it for the battery killer. There's no fix for the firmware either.
>laptop
>game
It's a Thinkpad, I have no reason to game on it, it came with an APU I tried to give AMD a chance and idk if I want to deal with graphics problems in Linux on desktop either.
My Thinkpad idles at like 6W. The APU uses ~1W. Sounds like an issue with your setup.
It's amd Mobo firmware.
can you not enter the bios and set up a power limit? or even via software? i'm pretty sure you can do that
+ performance
- battery
it is always a tradeoff, maybe theres a battery saving mode in the BIOS that will reduce the clock. but you have to keep in mind that there will always be a tradeoff like those ARM laptops have amazing battery but in exchange you get dogshit performance compared to a AMD/INTEL
please use picrel instead
Stop walking all over my brandwarz thread!
I Consider intel ultra, but still hesitant
both AMD and Intel make great server hardware
AMD is a joke. I wouldn't even use it over Nvidia on Linux it's so bad.
Is 4500G well supported?
Chiplet AMD idles high on any OS. If you want low idle you need monolithic AMD like 5600G or 8000 series.
True I guess, but you're no better off with Intel. All desktops idle "high" because idle power consumption doesn't matter on a desktop.
Works on my machine.
AMD idles higher.
The chart says otherwise.
Is this on Linux? Because those numbers sure as frick aren't accurate on Windows.
why do older AMDs idle lower than newer ones. seems theyre getting worse
Thermodynamicsbros, help. My Ryzen ist stealing half my comfy warm feet power away.
Awesome FUD thread bro! One thing though, I'm still buying AMD LOL!!
where do you get wattage numbers?
Install the zenpower kernel module and type sensors into the terminal
Just enable C-states?
OP is probably either still using acpi-cpufreq which only has 3 clock levels with the lowest one at 2.2GHz or something or he's using amd_pstate without powersave scaling governor which doesn't properly clock down for some reason.
I find you don't need frequency scaling in the OS at all. Just use C-states and leave the CPU clocked at maximum, or controlled by the hardware.
My AMD CPU idles at 400 MHz on Loonix.
what AMD CPU?
