That'll help them in some markets, but in ours (EDA engineers) while power isimportant, raw speed tends to be far more important.
And in ours (overall IT admin & "owners" of the data center into which faculty are stuffing ever more, ever denser, ever more powerful and power-hungry servers), power is very important. We literally only have so much electrical power to the building. We're also limited in how much heat we can realistically remove from the room.
The real trick will be for the engineers to design a system with all the performance for half the power. Maybe we'll get there, but I don't see it in the next couple years.
