I’m using s-tui to stress the CPU, which in turn uses the stress tool.
I can stress the CPU by changing the mode from monitor to stress. Here are the results for each machine.
As the chart illustrates, both the OrangePi RV2 and Banana Pi BPI-F3 use slightly less power than the Raspberry Pi 5, although the latter is much faster. The OrangePi RV2 uses 6.4w, the Banana Pi BPI-F3 uses 7.1w, so there’s very little difference between them.
Power usage figures are higher if other system components (GPU, disk etc) are also stressed. The chart reflects power consumption stressing the CPU only.
