‘Steeper’ program plans to lower active, idle and ‘vampire’ power draw.
The figures for computer @ sleep are totally wrong there... in S3 any PC or Laptop is <5W not up to 20W. My desktop is ~3W measured at the wall socket, so taking into account PSU inefficiency.
The only kind of computer using 20W when "asleep" might be a low-ish power one in S1 or S2.
Me thinks they are overcooking the numbers...
Was thinking that myself. I don't buy it.
And is their something wrong with flicking the switch at the wall?
Not a bad thing for sure, everyone wants lower standby power draw, but not really sure about the hard sell and the desperate attempt for good PR.
Yep. People are lazy.Quote:
