OTOH I have nothing in my PCIe (yet) and only a BT dongle in USB. Measuring my power consumption at the wall (with a Brennenstuhl meter) 7.25W max when idle, often a lot less, and 12W or so with all 6 CPU cores close to 100% (but no GPU load). Dont think my PSU is very efficient, maybe 70%. I am running HDMI screen, 4.4.132 kernel.

- PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
- PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
