That's because the GPU does not enter RC6 any more. For example, my Thinkpad P50 (6th gen) idles at 9w with current 5.3 kernels. Previously, it idled at 5W. Effects on a T480 (8th gen) are less dramatic but still significant. 5.5RC1 has the maintainer's second pass at this, which restores RC6 idling The maintainer's patch for 5.3 is here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/614#note_366057 I have applied this to tag Ubuntu-hwe-5.3.0-25.27~18.04.2 and it builds. I am testing it now. I think it would be very helpful to backport this if you can.
