We have crappy BIOS and motherboard makers to blame for this. BIOS was always a train-wreck of spaghetti assembly. Then Intel decided to write an entire new OS from scratch to embed into every motherboard vs just use (LinuxBIOS) coreboot or similar.
Same cpu, chipset and memory settings should have the same results. But BIOS/UEFI variations that are broken don't actually kill things like power management when the GUI says choose ON or OFF. OFF might not do anything to it.
