Please post a HWiNFO64 screenshot.

I have reasons to believe you're making this up.

Could it be that that some cores are constantly being waked up by something?

I mention that since you seem to be on Windows, which itself has a hard time to just shut up, but that is also easily paired with bad drivers, stupid software and bad peripherals.

Idle power consumption under Windows and Linux is exactly the same. Linux doesn't have any magical tricks to make it lower.

Windows has more services running in background but they don't meaningfully affect idle power consumption at all.

The entire Reddit topic confirms my statement, multiple over hundreds of reviews confirm what I said, yet it's
