Is there any information on how the choice of CPU module affects battery life given the exact same workload?
I know with some CPUs the faster ones actually use less power because they spend less time in their high-power states. How does this affect battery life on the Pocket Reform?
Anything on this? Maybe someone who has an RK3588 could post the power draw shown on the OLED screen? Just to have any point of comparison.
I’d say 0.6A +/- 0.1A on an idle system running on battery power, medium-low screen brightness, the keyboard backlight on full, encrypted nvme (stock). I do have 2 additional accelerometers installed in my pocket as well and a modified version of latest sysctl from git.
This is a really tough thing to measure in a meaningful way because we need to set a standard for how to actually measure it even if it’s just internal convention! Would have helped if I’d measured it on my imx8mp but I’m not about to reinstall it
