would newer hardware idle at even lower wattage than 15W? Or is that about the best one could expect?

- rhinoceraptor 7y agoFor a full desktop class chip, I think that's about as low as it can go. You could go lower with something like a NUC, but 15 watts is really good. 15 watts idle would cost something like $1.50 to $2 to run 24/7.
- eropple 7y agoNewer, maybe slightly but not hugely. (It's all still kinda warmed-over Skylake.) You could get cheaper with lower-TDP chips, but there are definitely diminishing returns on the floor.
