Honored ContributorThe max 10 will probably have much lower power consumption because it is much smaller. If you're concerned about power and your design fits in the Max 10, use it. For the same design, power consumption goes Max 10 << Cyclone V < Cyclone IV. Keep in mind that FPGAs need more power rails than the Cyclone as well as a configuration method (often a serial flash chip).
