Can anyone check their 2018 13" i5 for its idle CPU speed?

Looking at Intel Power Gadget, my i7 13" idles down to 1.2 GHz and stays there unless I do something to push the processor. I'm wondering, since the i5 is clocked lower, if it also idles there or idles at an even lower speed. The lower the idle set point the less battery drain I would imagine. I'd love if someone could download the app and just quickly look at it while their system isn't doing anything. Thanks!

My 13" i5 also idles at 1.2 Ghz

You kid, I remember needing to put my old Dell laptop in the oven every few months to re-solder the connections together in the GPU

That was one of my breaking points before getting a Mac lol.
