The Pi Zero is currently at 100 ma (AFAIK). Would be amazing if someone could fix this to 10ma, but i wont hold my breath on this issue. And the newer versions, powerwise, are going in the wrong direction.

So if you want to build something in the pi range with power management you might consider something like this

or

lpddr2 seems to be a rare commodity, somewhere i read the DIPFORTy2 "All Programmable Linux" is "delayed", because even 64MB lpddr2 seems hard to get.
Apparently the Pi 3 uses LPDDR2:

Of course it now has other niceties like a faster CPU, wireless LAN and Bluetooth which consume extra power.
