    Would you mind expanding on the power consumption figures you’ve mentioned please? I’m primarily interested in idle power consumption as most of the time my machine will be idling or doing very little. I’m assuming the power consumption figures you mention aren’t idle power consumption, but I’m not sure what they represent and if there’s a way to approximate/predict an idle power consumption from them.

    I won’t necessarily be looking into the processors you mentioned, but understanding this might help me extract more useful info when I look at online CPU and PC specs.

    Thanks
