That's a great move

Both Intel and NVIDIA should be regulated too, that'd force them to reduce the insane TDP of their products

They should learn from Apple

How to make lots of money selling stuff that runs off a 30-60 watt power brick.

It doesn't have much in the way of graphics capability, though, so you need to hang a bloody great external GPU off it.

Without that, they're no better than my elderly Thinkpad that runs off a 25-watt power brick.

entry level / consumer HW should be eco-friendly

2yo AMD's gpu are competitive with new Intel new GPUs with only just half the TDP

Okay, but they have horrible performance.

It doesn't matter how power-efficient they are if they don't work.
