Power Consumption with CPU Stressed
I put each computer under 100% CPU load using the stress utility.

As the chart illustrates, the Radxa Cubie A7Z’s power consumption of 5.4W puts it at the lowest of the single-board computers, but most of them are significantly more powerful.
Power usage figures are higher if other system components (GPU, disk etc) are also stressed. The chart reflects power consumption stressing the CPU only.
