6W is not impressive knowing that laptops have a "baseline" consumption of ~3W.
Still, 6W is better than usual intel nuc consuming ~10W idle.

Ontopic, I'm not really wowed by this announcement. It seems every aliexpress seller has dusted off their N100 (or friends) NUC and is selling it for 100$ or so.
16GB + 512GB SSD variants are especially common around 180-200$, so this is not much more than an arguable more reputable brand having local stock.
But it is a fantastic little chip, and really makes me respect those little e-cores. Would be great if more companies used the i3 n300 though as thats a 7w tdp chip with 8 e-cores that peak at 3.8ghz.
