This thing is such an advertisement for Apple Silicon though, not an apples to apples comparison but my M1 Mac mini idles at 5W, this Mac Pro idles at 150W 💀

@christianselig I think it’s more like 80W, no way it’s actually idle at 150.

@paul I hit sleep and 5 minutes later my kill a watt is fluctuating between 120 and 180W. Maybe it just takes awhile to fully calm down versus the Mac mini over the same period

@christianselig @paul My 12-core w/ 64GB idles ~75 on Windows 11. Got a few Linux VMs running on there.

@john @paul Yeah looks like mine works its way down to about 80-100W eventually
