Well on the Qualcomm MSM72xx SoCs, yeah they're pretty similar -- we can
reasonably enter power collapse (full shutdown of the ARM11 and
peripherals) from idle.  But this is not (to my knowledge) true of *all*
SoCs out there.  Also, resuming from this state can take 5-30ms
(depending on how distracted the baseband processor is by what's going
on on the network).
