>Personally I never found AMD is that efficient at idle.

Since we're talking about Japan, Intel is affectionately called the IdleM@ster as a pun on the very popular IdolM@ster franchise.

that's hilarious, thanks

but yeah, it's true, the paradox of intel is that they can get it so wrong in the big picture and execution and integration but sometimes the little details are so right. I225V is a mess. Sapphire Rapids has 700W transients above average. But idle power and interactive scenarios on client processors is a dream. They still tend to be better than AMD on their driver side and general platform validation and stability (as much as that has been a doubtful thing and continues to be going forward, it's true).
