AMD Athlon 200GE Dual-Core APU Review

Power Consumption
Tiny CPU means tiny power consumption, and at just 74.4 Watts, it’s hardly going to put a dent in your electricity bill. It is under powered, but it’s also very efficient for what it is. The perk here is that you can get away with a rather tiny power supply too.
Low power is often paired with low heat. The CPU ran at just 51c at full load, making it very friendly for SFF PC builds. Furthermore, this was cooled with the tiny stock cooler that came with it, and it’s still looking good. I honestly think our Noctua D15S would be overkill here.
