Unless I'm running on battery, that's a pretty abstract win to me in the US. My i5-6500t's 10W for all 8760 hours of the year is 87kWh; less would be nice but my power bill is already under $10/year at that rate.
It is great that something on par is so affordable & even lower power though! And what I bought was a value because it was used, where-as now you can buy new. It's felt like the atom lineup was kind of slow rolling things & there hasnt been much availability for cheap AMD systems. These low price low power e-cores systems have really changed the game, have expanded the value proposition a lot versus the used-x86 mini PC or io limited ARM market's long stalemate.
