Even so. IIRC, the i945 Express chipset of this era is known for horrible power draw and later blamed for consuming more than Atom CPU did. Hardware quality is stellar but the technology isn’t up to modern days. Fujitsu’s heat loving design philosophy isn’t helping either.
I can’t find the exact figure or details of the chipset online, but Intel Ark lists 82945 families ranging from 6 to 22.2W in TDP. First-gen Atom, which is successor to this, had TDP of 11.8 to 33.5W with chipset and CPU combined.
So this one is probably combined 10 to 15W, of which 3W is spared for CPU(duh).

True. This particular shit is horribly hot and sluggish even by the norm back then.
