It's believable (if only obtained with a lot of BIOS tweaking), I run an older Dell 1u server as my router. It's got an E3-1220 V2 (2012 era, 69 watt TDP), one 2.5" SSD, 8gb of RAM and after a bit of tweaking it sits at around 30 watts.

It wasn't a lot of BIOS tweaking, but yes, some undervolting was required. ;)

I also hdparm'd it such that my spinning disks park pretty aggressively.
