Whoops, two corrections here sorry, iUltra9-285K takes 355W peak (not
255W), and is 4x (not 2x) faster than rPI-5 at 50x more peak power
consumption, all work and no play makes tom a dull boy :D

Anyways, if you look at current PC's power supply (i.e. 1000W) idle
consumption of a computer that is shut down it equals to peak power of
SBC doing the same job as working computer :D
