Hi Brent....

The front page [first page] of the 87x spec sheet [perfect bound version]
calls for the following:

low-power consumption, < 2 ma typical @ 5V, 4 Mhz.

I recently measured a circuit in which I used the 16F84 and had a total of
10 ma, including LEDs and resistor loads, so 16F84 likely same < 2 ma.

The spec sheets are available on the MCHP website!
