They are credible threats now. I think Bluesky is a bigger threat to Twitter. Some posters said when they posted about Russia’s war they got better interactions on Bluesky because X downranks the topic

If you screenshot the post, there’s no guarantee it’s not doctored

Just checked the laptop first:

It’s 9.8w on idle (including laptop screen and RAM and everything) and 16.8w scrolling a website

That’s 50% more power usage. Over 20 seconds up from 196 J to 316 J

The CPU usage is 10%, but the energy usage is NOT 6.5 watts (with 65 watts being 100% usage)

That’s not how CPU usage works

Not really, my CPU is a 65W CPU. When it chugs hard the VRM is not even warm. My cooler is much weaker

So clearly it will be using much more power when it’s loading the site. These days as you scroll down the page it will infinitely load more stuff. Can’t call that idle

My CPU boosts to 4Ghz at 1.5V loading a website

That’s hardly nothing. When it’s not doing anything it goes back to 500Mhz at less than 1V

The CPU is not doing anything when the system is turned on! I don’t run Windows spyware so it only does something when it’s told

When it’s not doing anything

The processor is not made out of water so the boiling point of water doesn’t affect it

In fact you will get the best performance at 95C because to decrease it means to decrease the clocks

If you mean to get a better cooling solution that would be better, but then running it at 95C with that better cooling solution would be better again

Once you reach a cooling solution that can take it to the maximum clocks, then there will be no performance benefit between 70C and 95C at the same clocks and you can reduce the fan speed to hit the higher temperature at less noise

The VRM temperature is a different sensor. You can have 69C VRMs when your processor is 95C

Browsing the web is not idle

It just happens, it’s a lottery

Not true, 95C is the rated safe operating temperature

The 7000 series had the Intel behavior of just clocking up until like 95C and staying there indefinitely

That’s why people thought the 9000 series was disappointment - AMD went back to balancing power efficiency and performance

No it shouldn’t slow down at 90C, it should clock up until it can sustain exactly 105C and stay there. That’s the optimal performance point.

I transcode video with nvenc, I don’t need Intel

My AM4 box draws 0 watts on idle. I turn it off when I don’t use it

Not after snaps being forced down our throats

But with those two things I have a good time

Watch veritasium videos, they are well researched and informative. I have sponsor block and ad block so I don’t get annoyed
