My n100 system idles at 10W from the wall. It has many more components to power (2x m.2, sata, 5x nics, etc.) than this SBC though.

Much higher than a raspberry pi, but still low in comparison to any desktop server

That is quite high for an N100 system, even if it is not uncommon and much of the power may be used by the listed peripherals.

Most well designed N100 systems that have only a moderate number of peripherals have an idle power consumption under 5 W.

10W? I think that means 4 AA batteries would keep it running for about an hour.
