Is there anyone out there running an AMD 5650GE based system running Linux or BSD?

Can you tell us your CPU and GPU idle power numbers as displayed in btop?

Maybe this is an "easy button" of sorts to reduce power on an existing AMD AM4 system without going through the machinations of new mobo, ram, etc., etc. Get most of the way there?

You'd think over time, data centres would become more energy efficient

Random money saving tip.
Many libraries have added kill o watt meters to their collection. This can help you track down horribly inefficient electrical items, to at least let you limit the amount of time you run them.

AI breakthrough cuts energy use by 100x while boosting accuracy

AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually improving accuracy. By combining neural networks with human-like symbolic reasoning, their system helps robots think more logically instead of relying on brute-force trial and error.

LS Electric, Sauta Commercialize AI-Based HVAC System - Cuts Power Consumption by 25%

Do we have any owners of one of those Ryzen AI Max+ 395 128GB UMA boxes here that operate them on the daily for at least a few months as a claude LLM coding server and are capable of giving a comparative run down on their performance vs the OG claude and its collection of formal prose generators?

Also: Especially curious to hear any numbers that came out of a watt meter in daily consumption and base/peak numbers. Same with the used models, their size, their respective achieved tok/s and response times.

And should you have had the opportunity of comparing this against non-UMA beefy dGPUs on the above parameters that'd also be quote interesting.

Silly question:

Is it safe to bet that watching or listening in 2x save power consumption?

If you watch a video "faster" and, consequently, turn off the screen faster, since the video ended in half the time (2x), then that would reduce the battery consumption of the device.
