The same applies to the maximum sustainable power draw limit more or less. While it generally changes between "on battery" and "on AC power", it may also depend on other factors like the capacity of the available power supply for a data center.

I haven't given maximum power draw much thought, but it is a third objective independent of energy efficiency even though methods for improving energy efficiency (such as disabling expensive DVFS states) might be useful for this as well.

Yes, it is an independent objective.

Thanks!
