You may find my minimum power draw competition interesting then:

> I got some lower numbers, though I may not have followed the spirit of the competition exactly… Here’s my specs: Framework 16 7840HS 7700S module 2x16 corsair ddr5-5600 1TB corsair mp600 active nvme drive 2xUSB-C 3xUSB-A 1xAudio Card NixOS Unstable Stock 6.8.0 Kernel PPD 0.20 on Power Saver Mesa 24.0.2 amdgpu.abmlevel=4 kernel param (don’t have the patch for PPD integration) powertop --auto-tune with keyboard autosuspend disabled My lowest with a reasonable setup was 4.69W via power…

5-7W total draw is the lowest an optimized-but-still-usable system has achieved so far, ignoring the occasional momentary spike.
