A Netgear Nighthawk R7000 idles at 8W, max 34W. That will get you 1 Gigabit. Bleeding edge CPUs from Intel and AMD do guzzle power when run at full load, but they also improve in power per IPS, and have added dynamic underclocking, so they also run Compare the TDP of a Pentium 4 from 2000 to a Ryzen 5 3600 or an i7 7700K (These TDPs are supposedly max power output, but take them with a nugget of salt) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CPU_power_dissipation_figures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CPU_power_dissipation_... Gotta update that power intuition!
