Emtee, if your laptop wakes up nearly instantly after opening lid, then it supports modern standby. Ever since 4th Gen U core, Intel chips support...
I see, you are talking about the larger Spectre, not the smaller one with 10th Gen 10nm. Can't really say. Maybe its not really running on the...
It's stuttering because the CPU has to handle the decode. In Kabylake the GPU has a fixed function unit that's much faster. The GPU and the CPU...
@Fighwithadeagle Maybe you shouldn't disable Turbo on your device? Icelake's base frequency is very low so with Turbo disabled it'll only be at...
It has nothing to do with the compute units in the GPU, but the fixed function media decode units in the GPU. The reason your 5th and 6th Gen...
Even if idle can be lower, Windows 10 should in general achieve better realistic battery life. Windows 8+ introduces improved timer coalescing to...
Windows 10 has better support for the latest power management features. Actually, it was 8/8.1 that did this and 10 is an offshoot of that so.
@andriii25 Wooot! Congratulations! Though I can't think of a reason why it would do that? Maybe Linux smacked Windows on the head and forced...
Used to get 3-4 bars and 40-80Mb/s on the Qualcomm N adapter on my Haswell i3 laptop. With the AX200 it connects at 866Mb/s(maximum my Netgear...
You'll lose an additional 15-20% if using a wireless charger such as Qi devices.
@Griffin3567 Your image is showing C8 at 16% of the time. It looks like it can go lower, but is it at least going into C7? Your package power...
Yup, nothing special. You can RAID enough of them to try to get 100GB/s and won't affect anything on PC. Actually RAID will make it worse in some...
I think you are fine, as it has C8 active. Just see if you can lower the impact of background applications somehow so its in the lower states more...
Exactly that. There's a Lenovo thread discussing it. That CPU package state is pretty close to the lowest it'll go. But PCI-Express ASPM will...
That would be really nice. However Windows PC manufacturers already have low margins and sellers employ every tactic to improve it. There's a...
Just FYI, being able to solve all the issues shown by the powercfg command can further improve battery life. Yes, the C-states won't be affected...
Are you sure your laptop is idle and doing almost nothing when doing those tests? Your package power will be much higher when under load - that's...
Icelake isn't affected by Plundervolt. The new bugs that are popping up seems to be hitting Skylake-based cores.
So just for fun I bought a used Haswell i3 Latitude 3550 from Craigslist. It had a hard drive and under Windows 7, it would eventually idle to...
You can't fit anything resembling a dGPU in there. It's using an iGPU of some sort. Whether it comes with Icelake, or wait and come with...
Separate names with a comma.
