During a power cut

The Core i3-9100F's base power (TDP) is 65 W, the only power figure Intel publishes for it; it draws more under load. At 220 V, through a power supply with the lowest 80 PLUS badge[3], that comes to at least 80 W from the wall: at least 0.41 A on top of what the rest of the computer draws. From a 12 V battery through an inverter, it takes at least 7.9 A.

Not counted here: the rest of the computer (motherboard, RAM, storage, fans) and the screen, which have no official figure. Add what you know of them under "Other devices".
