[h=3]Power Consumption[/h] XMG U506 (Clevo P751dm). The missing graphics switching is particularly noticeable in the areas of battery life and energy consumption. An energy usage rate of 23.1 to 35.0 watts in idle mode is much higher than the 12.0 to 22.2 watts consumed by our test device's 15-inch sibling, the
XMG P505 (Clevo P651SG). Compared to the XMG U505, however, Schenker has made progress. A result of 32.8 to 48.3 watts reveals that the Haswell architecture needed far more energy than the new Skylake version - and that despite the fact that the Core i7-4790S has a lower TDP (65 vs. 91 watts). Our test configuration of the XMG U506 was more energy-efficient in 3DMark 06 as well - though just a tad, as the stronger graphics card exerts some influence here. Only in the stress test did the XMG U506's energy usage exceed that of the XMG U505.
