Still, when we see power numbers, it might be impressive.
I was with our power lab guys on Friday and they said "same power, idles lower."

That was a platform statement though because you have different chipset, different memory and some platform level things. The question I had was if you pull a bunch of old dual core systems and put in new 12-core systems, would you need to re-provision the power to the rack. Definitley not, you should see the same power and thermals as our Istanbul products.
