Additionally, for tasks like cryptocurrency mining, an energy-efficient CPU can accomplish the same work while saving costs within a short period.

Sure, I question the accuracy of that claim. At such low usage levels, especially with modern games running at 1440p, the power consumption is likely minimal.

I checked the idle power usage for the 9900 k model, which drops from 130 to 10 watts. That’s a significant reduction, though the data isn’t very detailed. In the most favorable situation, it could save around 5 watts.

Your CPU operates at around a hundred watts when under stress. Usually it handles only a few watts for everyday tasks like web browsing and email. However, streaming Netflix would push it harder. It's similar to how YouTube heavily taxes devices. You might notice why tests often use video playback—because it’s very resource-intensive. I worry that the constant switching between your main CPU and the Raspberry Pi could cancel out any benefits. I’m not an electrical engineer, so I don’t have a deep understanding of this issue. It just seems impractical to me.

Consider testing mining on a Raspberry Pi first, then share your thoughts on the return time. The gap between 130W and 10W is actually 120W, not 5W. Also, most computers don’t run at maximum power continuously.

Kernel live patching is supported through various initiatives. For more details, see the Kernel documentation at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation...epatch.txt. These efforts are inspired by projects like Ksplice, KGraft, Fedora Silverblue, Fedora CoreOS, and Ubuntu, which aim to enable real-time updates with reduced downtime using minimal core components and containerized packages.

The issue with software decoding is similar, but using VA-API for video playback lessens the strain significantly. I haven’t performed thorough testing or examined the specifics, so I may be slightly off, but I believe it’s because battery tests often involve video playback since it offers a reasonable indicator of light usage and keeps the screen from staying static for extended periods. Please let me know if this is correct.
