I kind of doubt the 10W number this article states. Other reviews of this CPU I've seen say that the CPU alone idled around 20W. It may be that ASRock might be doing some aggressive tuning in the BIOS to get the CPU down to 10W, which would explain that doing any work at all causes it to jump to 50W. Could also be a function of this review using Linux while the other reviews are using Windows.
Either way, I suspect with a few VMs and the host all at idle, power consumption would average 50W for the CPU and 75 to 100W for the whole system.
