I have a 2017 loaded iMac, i7 (TDP 90W), Radeon 580 (TDP 150W). Fans etc, abound.

It's certainly not the same, but the built in screen definitely does not consume 200W, and though I can't determine the raw number, going from 'dimmest' to 'brightest' increases power draw 70W.

Guess what size PSU all of the above comes with? 310W.

We shall see. I actually really like the iMac Pro, and would enjoy having one, I don't want to see it fail, I'm just struggling to see how you're getting more than three times the heat dissipation load in what they say is the same 'body size'.
