I’m using s-tui to stress the CPU. It provides a convenient frontend to the stress utility.
Here’s the chart showing power consumption with the CPU stressed.
The power saver, balanced and performance governors didn’t affect power consumption with the Orange Pi 6 Plus.
The Orange Pi 6’s results are very impressive. While the Orange Pi 6 Plus uses slightly more power than the N100, it’s considerably faster than the mini PC, as demonstrated in my benchmarks article. More striking is that the Pi 6 is much more frugal than the desktop machines while not being that far behind in benchmarks.
