Idle power is the only thing they are good at, but for a homeserver a used older cpu is good enough.
Was that even true for comparable CPU's? I feel this was only for their N100's etc.
Nah all the am4 cpus have abysmal idle power, the am5 got a little better as far as i know but the infinity fabric was a nightmare for the idle power.
What about the monolithic socs? Idle power on my 5825u is better than my i5-1135g7. My i7-8550u is in between.
The problem is just the infinity fabric that connects the chiplets. Afaik this is because its clock runs at a consstant speed and its made on a way bigger node. The monolithic parts dont have that problem.
