Power Consumption with CPU Stressed
I’m using s-tui to stress the CPU, which in turn uses the stress tool.
$ sudo apt install s-tui stress
I can stress the CPU by changing the mode from monitor to stress. Here are the results for each machine.
As the chart illustrates, the Radxa ROCK 5T’s power consumption is higher than the other ARM and RISC-V based, but it’s quicker than most of them. Its power consumption is about half that of the Intel N95 and N100 machines but, as we saw in the benchmarks, it competes well with them from a performance perspective.
Power usage figures are higher if other system components (GPU, disk etc) are also stressed. The chart reflects power consumption stressing the CPU only.
