I use mine with OPNSense so it’s hard to say since it never really idles. But a N100 has a 6W TDP to begin with. I draw about 12W peak (the fan is what kills) and 7W nominal.
- megous 3y agoCPU TDP does not have much to do with power consumption of the complete product. Anyway, those numbers seem to be comparable to high performance ARM boards. Compared to boards in Raspberry Pi's ~$50 range, that idle power consumption is still about 5x higher than those 7W on Intel N100. N100 is also a bit pricier than N5105.
- syntaxing 3y agoMy real world usage for a Rpi 4 is pretty close to 5W nominal, 8W peak (but I do run a zigbee/zwave and NVMe ssd). My Zero W is pretty close to 2.5W but it’s overclocked. I’m pretty sure you can underclock the CPU and RAM, and under voltage the RAM, and you’ll get very close numbers to a Rpi. Has to be a N100 though, didn’t look into but a N95 is significantly more inefficient
- megous 3y agoThen Rpi4 is very inefficient even compare to other ARM boards. RK3399 based boards idle at 1.7W or ~1.2W with a binary blob TF-A firmware and suspend to 200mW. My Allwinner H3 based boards idle at similar power levels and I haven't measured suspend to RAM. On A64, suspend is ~60mW and is fast so it can be used regularly and you can wakeup the board in response to work being needed.
