Even at 10w, that's about 2X of the entire rpi under load, and 10w is only the chip. The entire mobo is also more complex and less efficient.

- ThrowawayR2 4y ago10 W is the the TDP, a fudged estimate of the maximum power, for x86 chip. Idle power is much, much lower and that's really the important part that the Raspberry Pi can't match because anecdotally it has minimal power management capabilities and therefore runs at full power (~4-5 W) whether idle or active. An x86 system can beat that.
