Intel mobile CPU consumption at idle levels?
- by Ivan Petrushev
Hello,
I was wondering if someone has observations (or specifications) of different mobile processors power consumption levels when idle? Let's define 'idle' with 'browsing web sites trough wifi, no flash, no multitasking'. There are different series processors, recognizable by their first letter. The letter tells about the maximum TDP. For example:
T - 30-39W
P - max 25W
L - 12-19W
U - <12W

However this is about maximum consumptions during load. Is there any difference in power levels when the CPU is idling?
