IMX8M-Plus vs IMX8-DualXPlus power usage and heat

[TerryBarnaby1]

Is there any information on typical power usage for the IMX8M-Plus and IMX8-DualXPlus SOC's ?

I know detailed power usage is very application dependent, but I would like to get a ballpark idea. So questions like:

1. What is the idle power (CPU's enabled and running) of these two SOC's with GPU and VPU enabled ?

2. What would be a reasonable full CPU usage + Graphics usage (say 25% overall CPU and displaying a H264 video) ?

3. It looks like the iMX8M-Plus will require a heat sink even for light use, how about the IMX8-DualXPlus ?

Many thanks, that document is useful.

I will ask our local distributor, but do you know that there actually is an equivalent power consumption document for the IMX8M-Plus and if so what its AN number is as these is no such document on the product website ?
