DE1-SOC Power Consumption

[Altera_Forum]

Hello all, 

 I measured power consumption from 12v AC/DC adapter, here are the results:  fpga configured from EPCS with default demo 0.3A fpga configured from EPCS with default demo + sd inserted 0.42A fpga configured from HPS with no SD 0.25A fpga configured from HPS with SD with Linux Console 0.37A fpga configured from HPS with SD with Linux Console with ethernet cable connected 0.51A fpga configured from HPS with SD with Linux Console with ethernet cable connected + cpu1 100% 0.52A fpga configured from HPS with SD with Linux Console with ethernet cable connected + cpu1 100% + cpu2 100% 0.53A  With fpga only are 12*0.3=3.6W, a lot of power. Someone can confirm this is normal and my board is not wrong? Where go all of this power? Power consumption seem a lot of independent from cpu load... this seem hard to be right!  Anyway with 12*0.5A=6W an heatsink is indinspensable when using ARM cores!

I did some amount of power consumption in idle mode of IC on DE1-SOC:
