What about sleep mode? Anyone measured power draw in sleep mode in newer Thinkpads?

From what I understand, Gen 2 was the last one to have S3, and newer versions with si0x will have higher power consumption in sleep mode, right?

I have had excellent sleep duration with a T14 Gen4 AMD under Fedora. I can put it to sleep and wake it a week later and still have >60% battery. Windows 11 was a different story - I'd find it dead after a day or two of sleeping. The "i" in Thinkpad pulses while asleep so it was easy to tell when it had switched from sleeping to drained.

I don't know why you say that. I've measured Linux sleep power consumption for Lenovo and ASUS laptops over the past 10 years and S3 and si0x come pretty close.
