Actually did some quick tests last night and found that
The CPU and gnu temps are almost always exactly the same. I imagine because they are on the same chip (is this correct? )
A couple of times i saw the gnu going 3 degrees higher for like 3 seconds.
With screen off the temp goes to 30 (which is still too much considering the weather is like 10 degrees)
Battery always reports 19 always.
When idling on an app screen it goes to 40 (definitely too much).
The interesting part is that *it seems* that when i switch tasks on plasma and leave the screen on the task switcher (when all screens can be seen).
Or when i pull the notification drawer. The gpu gets a couple degrees extras.
Reminds me of the old days of compiz, where the compositor took a lot of resources. And if you enable blur it would tank your PC.
I've switched the plasma style to oxygen, which i expect has less effects on it (eg translucency) to see if it makes a difference.
This is all conjectures, but this seems to be a place where battery usage could be optimized, after all i did noticed longer battery on mobian, where the gnu was colder.
