We measure power demand at the socket with a calibrated meter.
We measure under four test states.
Idle – resting in Windows with 0% CPU and GPU load.
Media – watching 4K videos on YouTube.
Gaming – playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider at 1080p with all the settings maxed.
Synthetic load – stressed in Furmark and Cinebench R15.
The system consumes a modest 40 watts when watching 4k movies, and this rises to 120 watts when gaming. Under purely synthetic load this rises to 165 watts.
