CPUs for starters.What are you complaining about; it is a comparison as stated?.
You say the wrong test. The wrong test for what?

"You say the wrong test. The wrong test for what?"
Most $$ regulator consumers are likely putting them in analog circuitry I'd bet. I doubt many have been put on digital circuit power rails. But here you are, so maybe there are more of you.
and Gordon has repeatedly said here that he designed motherboards.
I think there was one (by Fit) that used 78xx ???????
I like to convert my computer files to analog before I listen to them.
Might as well save your money and go with a cheapo regulator since you'll end up needing to heavily decouple your digital loads with bypass caps anyway. That is, if you want it to work. Even your ultradollar regulator has no response at anywhere near the rate a modern cpu can change it's demand for power. Same with USB and its extremely fast transient requirements.
You are absolutely correct about CPU power demand varying. It varies with the program loops being run, even varies with the data being processed.
This variation has been used to extract secret cryptographic keys from satellite TV decoder chips and from "chip and pin" smart cards.

Anyone with a good scope and has monitored the power rails of a music playing PC can see the instantaneous changes in current demand.
Those with knowledge of measurement systems will know that step changes are used for gauging transient response, otherwise there will be no need to measure the square wave response of analog and digital circuits.
