    AMD (at older CPUs) do have pretty high idle power usage.

    I have a battery system for my desktop (I live in Ukraine, russian our electricity system) and my 5800X desktop doesn’t go below 140 W or so (with monitor being off and active background services on the HDDs).

      Huh, interesting. I have an AMD ryzen 7 series and I’ve tested my power usage in the past. The whole system including 3 monitors iirc averaged 120 W. I might be misremembering but I don’t think I’m off by much
