I’m using s-tui to stress the CPU. It provides a convenient frontend to the stress utility.
Another good set of results for the Minisforum PC. It edges out the Core Ultra 7 255H machine even though I was very impressed by that machine too. It’s a faster machine with a slightly higher power consumption under full load.
I repeat the chart but this time the Minisforum BIOS has the power limit mode set to Performance Mode.
Power usage figures are considerably higher if other system components (GPU, disk etc) are also stressed. The chart reflects power consumption stressing the CPU only. The maximum power consumption drawn when all system components are stressed is considerably higher for all machines.
