Is that all from one author ? If the results are submitted by multiple people I'd imagine it would be hard as not everyone have setup to measure power usage accurately.

For anything battery powered idle usage also is useful stat but that I'd imagine would vary widldly depending on whether kernel supports all of the chip's power saving features

I mean that is genuinely relevant info for you if you're gonna be using that distro. It doesn't matter what it supports in hardware if there's no software support for it, it's like it doesn't exist.


On top of that it might support it but need special settings, or have certain optimizations enabled to get the lowest power.
