The difference between dormancy and sleep

The difference between hibernation and sleep is: different power consumption, different data storage and different recovery time.

1, power consumption is different.

Sleep is to turn off the power of most hardware devices except memory and enter a low-power operation state. Hibernation is to completely get rid of the consumption of electricity.

2. The saved data is different

Sleep will save your memory sessions and data in both physical memory and hard disk. Hibernation is a further expansion of sleep function. After using the sleep function, the system will save all the data before hibernation to the hard disk. After resuming from hibernation, the system will return to your desktop and run the application before going to sleep.

3. The recovery time is different

Hibernation Because the data is not stored in faster memory, the recovery time of hibernation will be slower than that of sleep.

Sleep state:

When the computer is asleep, the power of other accessories except the memory will be cut off, and the working data will be saved in the memory, so that when the computer is awakened again, it can quickly return to the working state before sleep. If you need to leave the computer for a short time during work, you can use the sleep function, on the one hand, you can save electricity, on the other hand, you can quickly resume work.

However, it needs to be reminded that because the sleep state does not save the desktop state to the hard disk, if the power is turned off in the sleep state, the unsaved information will be lost, so before the system sleeps, you'd better save all the documents that need to be saved "Ctrl+S", just in case.
