Comment on Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

x86 isn’t built for that kind of usage
Apple introduced the “Power Nap” feature to do this stuff in 2012, support starting with the 2011 MacBook Air, and almost a decade before they started switching away from Intel. The chips are capable of it, at least in the right hands.
Please explain
It’s not power efficient enough.
