Tricky. Basically, most of the CPU will only be powered on when there's work to do. So for an e-ink device, the power draw when it's sitting around with no screen changes will be extremely low.

If other screen technologies require active management at all times, even at fairly low levels, it can mean higher CPU power draws.
