I think HL2 on portable 5W ARM linux is more interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl1nrDvmiII

You can run HL2 at 1080p 60fps in 5W on Armada on the AYN Thor (on the Eco performance profile). That includes a screen and speakers.

I wanted to say, 5 watts, doesn't HL2 already run on Raspberry Pi? But then I realized, this thing seems to be powered by some kind of rpi?

That's pretty cool though, do you have a video of it running on the device itself?

This is captured+streamed on the device with ffmpeg, but mobile phone video no.

Got a short of my own engine though: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LKYX7E3A0Dk

I know it's not as cool but the Steam Deck can run HL2 at just as low power consumption with its AMD APU.

"A normal Steam Deck consumes about 4 to 7 watts of total system power when idling on the home screen with low screen brightness."

Maybe HL2 brings zero overhead to idle then?

Anyway X86 is the past, risc-v is so completely lost into eternal future... only ARM really works right now.
