Most of the chips have "idle" and "max" power specifications.  (see the respective datasheet to find it).  A board generally doesn't spec power consumption.  At any rate, it's pretty easy to measure.  Run your code, put a current meter inline with the thing you want to measure and you'll get your current measurement.  Then do a little math to get Power..
