I understand that there is a need to really encourage (read spin the ad) the outlook and thoughts of the limited player who will tirelessly spin the ad. Nevertheless, you could have thought a little, or simply written that the article is an irritant to monkeys. Personally, I’m more interested in how well the entire platform is set up, how well it handles the tasks performed, and also what its consumption actually is, which is not the most interesting, but still important information, because the computer works 8-10 hours a day. It doesn’t make sense for one computer, with the increase it’s already a very interesting difference (stations with AMD and Intel cost practically the same). SFF/MFF with the I5-13500T says that most of the time it is sufficient with 7.4 W, the Ryzen 5 4650G keeps around 13 W. It could be driven constantly in idle mode, which is the typical mode of an office computer with power to give away, and one would not even notice if the performance (thus consumption) for a specific task increased to 0.5 seconds or 0.6 seconds. All in the same configuration, i.e. 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, connected keyboard, mouse, Yubikey, … and of course they are always connected in the domain (Windows Server 2018 ADDS). Uninteresting for one computer, for a thousand the number will make a decent difference and costs practically the same. The 27″ panels, which are bigger and cost more, but greatly increase comfort, spoil it a bit. If they managed to increase efficiency by a few percent and reduce consumption, only good. After all, one does not solve the processor, but the whole, and it depends on the manufacturer, how well it has solved it, what kind of service and management it offers and how much they charge for it. All things being equal, then a slight difference in consumption can be an interesting value at the selection stage. I do not claim that this is the most interesting factor and between Dell and HP I always go for HP because they have much better quality components, they can be repaired and it is not a problem to manage complete documentation, a manual (their boards are made by Wistron, Pegatron, Quanta). Dell is like Apple in style, packed with the biggest scumbag with wild variance and tolerance. At 1.8 V, I already measured 156 mV of ripple, which is far beyond my tolerance and the documentation, let alone the manual, from them (Foxconn makes their boards).
