The Intel DH61AG machine pulled just 25 watts at idle whereas the Asrock Z68M-ITX/HT consumed 40 watts. The difference likely comes down to the power supplies used as the DH61AG was armed with a 150W Liteon power brick which is more efficient at these lower wattages. That margin was diminished to only 8 watts once under load, but there was still a noticeable difference between the compact Intel platforms and AMD’s Fusion offerings.
