Every time I've tried to load systems up with RAM and measure an increase in power consumption, I haven't been able increase it. And I tried a variety of intense memory access patterns. Maybe someone else has done this experiment and gotten different results? > so even a 1W device needs some airflow, but it's mostly CPUs that count.
