any1 who can afford these babies im sure wouldnt mind about an exra $20 on their bill

that's not the point he was making

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.

also, they are only gonna pay for their computers once

what about the earth? less power consumption = seconds more the earth will live

I don't have the time to read it now, as I want to make my lunch nice find nubius.

I still say an Opteron 852 would do nicely

20$ more a month x 12 months x 3 year lifespan = 720$ more in power billbs

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.
