I really doubt that statement.
Please check with a power meter when you leave use normally your
machine over the course of few days with maxcpus=x and without.
I was happy with https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01DX4JNXE , now a
useless paperweight in Germany (only 100V supported).

If your machine is idle, the CPU is really just a few watts.
