And many       datacenters care more about "perf per watt" than raw performance.              So, I think the difference in power consumption does not favor ARM       nearly as significantly as you think.                      Stefan              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
