> Consume power less than or equal to 10 + 0.03 * C, where C is the system memory capacity in gigabytes minus 32 gigabytes (see Table V-6 in Title 20 Section 1605.3(v))

Umm what? Who came up with this? Is there any scientific basis behind this?

It makes sense. Out of all components only RAM’s power usage scales linearly to it’s size. You need to periodically refresh each single memory cell to not lose it. Everything else you can either switch off or move to standby.
