Can I deactivate parts of the processor and would that save energy?

[Marmar]

I am impressed by the performance of the N97 processor and its long list of Advanced Technologies, some of which I don't need e.g. the audio related ones:

- Intel® Gaussian & Neural Accelerator
- Intel® Smart Sound Technology
- Intel® High Definition Audio
- MIPI SoundWire

Can I deactivate them or other parts of the processor and would that save energy?

Best regards,

Markus

Hello @CarlosAM_INTEL,
for years I use a Raspberry Pi Zero2 W as a home server.
I have to compile a particular software which is only available for x86.
Lately I bought a GMKtec Nucbox G5.
Now I would like to understand if I could reduce its power consumption.
Best regards,
Markus
