(I did not get this message by mail, but I saw it in the archive.)

What I do now is to measure the powerconsumption of a CPU inclusive
mainbord, power-supply, memory and disk.

I realise that it would be better if I would have the consumption of the
CPU package alone. But I would need also information then about the
mainboard.

With "idle" I mean a state without workload, but where everything is
functional.

I understand it is not easy to find a good way, but I think you also
understand it is important to have this kind of information.

Maybe it would be good to measure a "reaction time" in the idle state
too. E.g. of a webserver.

With regards,
