I am not sure this is low enough power, but the PC engines apu2 has 3
GbE interfaces and has pretty low power consumption.  My UPS reports 37
VA, and that's an apu2, a USB hub, 2 ethernet switches one of which
isn't particularly low power, and a POE access point on one of the
switches.

It's an amd64 cpu and can be had with 4G RAM.  Serial console only, no
video at all.  Mine runs until I upgrade the software or the power is
out longer than the UPS can deal with.   It is not particularly speedy
CPU wise, but it's been great as a
router/firewall/dns/everything-like-that running NetBSD.
