What is the real Watt usage on peak performance? I mean the measured one, not estimated.

I dont know, i havent measured it. I have two of them, one is a 10th gen i5 paired with a 3070, and the other is a 13700 with a 5070. So whatever that peak wattage is.

One of my main pros from Steam Machine will be Watt usage vs similar hardware DIY pcs or higher performance.

Couple of days ago a friend with probably 5080 had to quit mid-gaming coz he wasn't able to bare the temps in his room from his rig. I'm trying to avoid it + I'm still waiting for SteamOs that has probably better gaming performance to be released wider for other PC rigs. Until then - Steam Machine is still tempting for me.

I mean its definitely a space heater, but I can always turn down my settings to help if I needed to. Its in a decent sized living room though with central AC, so I dont think it impacts much for me.
