Which of the following sleep modes is the most power hungry mode?

S1 (Standby) is the sleep state where the CPU is still executing instructions, though the clock may be stopped, and RAM remains refreshed. While some peripherals are powered down, the CPU still consumes significant power compared to deeper sleep states like S2 or S3, making it the most power-hungry among the specified sleep modes (excluding S0, which is the working state).

S2 is a deeper sleep state than S1, where the CPU is powered off and its cache is flushed, consuming less power than S1.

S0 is the working state where the computer is fully on and operational, consuming the most power overall, but it is not a 'sleep mode.'

S3 (Suspend to RAM or Standby) is a very deep sleep state where most components are powered off except for RAM, which maintains its contents, consuming very little power.
