Idle yes, but HBM energy consumption / memory operations seems to be a bit better than DRAM.

Only if you’re running at 100%. Consumers generally do not.

  • That hasn't been true since early HBM2 days, before the controllers standardized on power/voltage management and did things like leave them in P0 to ship on time

    • LPDDR/DDR/GDDR generally still win over HBM when there’s no data being transferred. HBM is primarily better in watts/byte transferred. Consumer electronics spend most of their time idle.
