19:01:57 <hyc> just watching my watt meter. power use goes up ~30W just from my laptop display
19:07:02 <w[m]> I started to ssh in from termux to try to keep power usage down 😅. My laptop is already old and inefficient enough, and chokes up when I open the lid while mining lolol
19:43:45 <garth> Does the power efficiency of laptop components mean that laptops in general get better hash/watt than desktops? Obviously they are poorer at removing heat so maybe this efficiency comes at a cost of increased component degradation 
19:45:31 <w[m]> Im not sure about laptops, but android pulling 600h/s on 5w is pretty great IMO.
19:45:31 <w[m]> 500w gets you 60kh
20:05:08 <hyc> garth: generally yes. laptop chips are targeted at lower power levels than desktop, already. power efficiency decreases with increasing voltage, so there's quite a difference
20:06:01 <hyc> and the efficiency gain is even greater for phone chips
20:06:09 <moneromooo> What does higher voltage get you ? Higher clock rates ?
20:06:16 <hyc> yes
20:06:45 <hyc> the flipside is lower peak perf
20:09:26 <hyc> power use is proportional to square of voltage tho. so doubling clock speed would eat 4x more power.
20:09:53 <hyc> eh. square of frequency I meant
22:22:40 <garth> Interesting thanks
