Rk3588 owners: how is the power draw?

I am thinking about getting the rk3588 module, and I am wondering, how does the system power draw look like when the system is idle? how about busy? Basically, if you disconnect from wall power, what does it say in the battery view screen on the tiny OLED display? Probably you should also turn the keyboard backlight down and say what your screen brightness is, since those things will also be included in the power usage reporting.

My friend has told me it might idle better than the iMX8, and I wonder if that’s the case :o
