What numbers are "power optimized for mobile operation"? Relatively recent power reduction experiments for Allwinner H3 boards: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1614-running-h3-boards-with-minimal-consumption/ Even if the numbers for H3 boards are way off, the methods used might still be interesting. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
