if it's a server rackmount style situation, it'd be a whole mess of these processors. Big coorperations are money mongers dude. They don't see it as $20, they see it as $20 per server stations, multiplied by how many hours it works, multiplied by the months in a year = Thousands a year.
I think we all know that intel frequency and AMD don't compare. Just like with graphics cards my ATI with lower clocks will beat a lower NVIDIA with higher clocks.
