On the other hand, pretty easy how such a div might trigger a less efficient path; if the video is top in the z-order then it can probably bypass being composited by the browser (and who knows, maybe even bypass being composited by the OS) and avoid a whole mess of rendering to a texture, texturing some triangles, and so on and so forth.
Right. My take is "hey, good engineering to not need a power brick. But to what end? What's the practical purpose of this engineering? Why not just make the system bigger?"
One of the (many) reasons I've heard they had to abandon Longhorn was that apparently it was essentially unbuildable. The build was broken so much of the time that they gave up and started over.
Even with the CPU, you also need the right chipset and the right firmware to actually light this stuff up. While especially in the laptop sector there are consumer devices that include this, it's far from universal.
Good luck with that. It's working for Raytheon with a clearance.

It isn't on all hardware. Intel has two ME firmwares, a small one for consumer systems, and a big one for corporate/enterprise systems. The small one does not (or at least, should not; is not supposed to) include the remote management features.
In other words, the separation that you describe exists.
Systems with the full firmware sport things such as the vPro branding, and only certain combinations of CPU and chipset support it.
