I've got the model C PS4 that uses 40 watts less, so yeah, 100.watts. Those X 86 chips love the juice. That's where ARM chips have the advantage, requiring less power to do the same thing. The X1 chip uses 10 watts of power running from battery and 20 watts from power supply.

When they finally get a ARM chip with PS4 processing power it will probably be around 25 to 30 watts. Still to much for a battery, but fine from a wall socket.

90% of the power of the X1 comes from the Maxwell GPU, not the ARM CPU.

10 watts is still a lot for a mobile device.   That's what a top end tablet uses now.  25 to 30 watts would be way too much heat for a small form design to dissipate.

But the mobile tech is advancing fast. Another few years from now and we will see crazy processing power in phones and tablets with minimal power consumption. Plus with new types of data storage like solid state drives and holographic memory our portable devices might as well be our consoles too. Just dock your tablet to the TV (for more power @ docking station) and bluetooth a controller to it.
