I measured an Asus Mini PC PN50 with a Ryzen 4500U. The idle power usage was 8.5 Watt for the system. This with 32GB of memory and a SATA SSD installed. It would be nice if it was lower than this, but it isn't too bad. Interestingly the machine used 1.2 Watt while off after it wasn't on power, 0.5 Watt after starting up and shutting it down.
Recently noticed some people focussing on low power but powerful 24/7 home "servers". Systems that are on 24/7, but often idle. One system used around 4.5 Watt in idle. The "brick" / power adapter often uses too much power, even when everything is off.
