Linux Takes Another Shot At Fixing Visual Glitches & GPU Hangs For Intel Sandy Bridge

[otoomet]

These few data for comparison (of course no dGPU). Some of the box have dGPU expansion, but I didn't have the power numbers:
- i3-6100T 8GB 256GB NVME 4.2 watt idle (HP Prodesk 600 G2)
- i7-6700T 16GB 256GB NVME + 2TB HDD < 9 watt idle (HP Prodesk 600 G2, G3)
- i5-8500 8GB 512GB NVME 5.2 watt idle (HP Elitedesk 800 G4)
- Ryzen 5 5600G 32GB 512GB NVME ~11watt idle (Deskmini X300, A320M)
- Ryzen 5 3400G 16GB > 40watt idle (MSI A320M-A Pro Max, Corsair VX450 80+)
- Ryzen 7 5700G 16GB 21watt idle (MSI A320M-A Pro Max, Corsair VX450 80+)
- Ryzen 7 5700G 16GB 7 watt idle (Gigabyte B550?)
Almost all 6-9 Gen Intel mini-pc have fantastic idle watt. Never tested > 9 gen. AMD? Not so good on idle unfortunately.

Intersting. Where did you get these numbers? How are these measured? Do I understand correctly that it is just CPU and no chipset/memory/... ?

I'd love to see more such figures published!

All data's from my mini-pc (except gigabyte B550, read it online) that measured from the wall. It has RAM/storage as the data shows. As for the chipset, the HP Prodesk 600 G3 have Z370. Prodesk 400 G3 using Q370 IIRC. Prodesk 600 G2, maybe Z270. EDIT: HP Prodesk 600 G3 DM chipset is Q270 as for HP Support pages for the PC. The Z370 I read wrong from lspci command.

I've tested a few other mini-pc from Dell and Lenovo too (Thinkcentre and optiplex). Most of them idle below 7 or 8 watt, and just 1 or 2, below 9 watt. Those with Intel Core i3 and i5 gen 6 or 7.

Wait.. as mini-pc you mean something like intel nuc with laptop parts? Or you mean desktop pc components? 5700g and B550 are desktop parts afaik (as are the others), not sure if laptop parts with the same name exist. Are you sure that desktop parts go down to <10W idling, including memory? What kind of memory is that?

When looking at reviews, the idle power is typically ~50W, e.g. at techpowerup: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/a...-5700g/22.html
They use x570 board and 3800MTs memory though.

Not something like intel nuc that use U CPU (15 watt). Almost all intel mini-pc above use desktop T CPU, with PL1 = 35 watt, except i5-8500 that is 65 watt desktop CPU. And yes, all CPU is desktop PC components. As for 5700G or 5600G, they actually is ryzen mobile CPU that, maybe, not that efficient at idle so they repackage it to G series.

~50 watt idle usually with dGPU, and mobo with chipsets. Mobo without chipset, like deskmini x300, sip power. Just googling. There's bunch of data, like, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comme..._worth_buying/

This is my HP EliteDesk 800 G4 with i5-8500T and 16GB 2666MHz Samsung RAM, no storage, 19v 90 watt HP PSU; boot to endeavourOS from USB Sandisk. As you can see, the idle power consumption is around ~3.6 watt. For the info about the mini-pc or the processor, you can googling it.
