no less

That much, minimum

No less emphasizes that something is surprisingly impressive or significant—often introducing an unexpected person or thing: The award was presented by the president, no less.

It can also mean exactly or equivalently: The task requires patience, no less than skill.

The phrase adds a note of dramatic weight or insistence to whatever it modifies.
