I have a 4 Cores Intel i3 13100 and I can't reach these low numbers.
The machine idle with just 1 nvme is 16 watts. I managed to go to 12 watts with the powersaver mode in tuned but I have random ssh freezes and I didn't find any relevant doc to solve the problem.
But as soon as the machine is in light use, just a network transfer for example the power usage go through the roof: 30 watts.
Now I have loaded it with 2 internal 3.5 hard drives, I have a VM with Docker running, a torrent client and Syncthing (so nothing terribly intensive). The thing never goes below 40 watts and is currently at 60 (I'm copying data onto the drives).
I would never have bought a desktop class CPU if it wasn't for these articles that promise unreachable low power draw.
