Yeah.

In general, 'big' CPUs have an advantage because they can run at much, much lower clockspeeds than atoms, yet still be way faster. There are a few exceptions, like Ryzen 3000+ (excluding APUs), which idle notoriously hot thanks to the multi-die setup.

    Peripherals and IO will do that. Cores pulling 5-6W while IO die pulls 6-10W

    Same with auto overclocking mobos.

    My ASRock sets VSoC to a silly high coltage with EXPO. Set that back down (and fiddle with some other settings/disable the IGP if you can), and it does help a ton.

    ...But I think AMD's MCM chips just do idle hotter. My older 4800HS uses dramatically less, even with the IGP on.
