I’m using s-tui to stress the CPU. It provides a convenient frontend to the stress utility.
Obviously the N100 consumes the fewest watts under full load, but it’s a snail compared to the other machines.
I repeat the chart but this time the BOSGAME machine (as well as the Minisforum machine) has the power limit mode set to Performance Mode.
The maximum power consumption drawn when all system components are stressed is considerably higher for all machines.
