Not even remotely.  The original Acorn Atom PSU was 8v at about 1.5A DC 
if I remember correctly.  I "acquired" one from my Dad's work when it 
wouldn't work, or more accurately would work for only a few minutes 
before turning itself off.  The scorch marks on the inside of the case 
around the heatsink bolts were a dead giveaway...

Fully loaded, with every socket filled, it drew nearly 3A.
