The X5680 is a workstation only part, typically priced well above reasonable rates and consuming tons of power. We won't see it in the server world.

29% of the 2P market is priced at $3K or below. How do you build a <$3K 2P server with $3200 worth of silicon.

62% of the 2P market is priced from $3-6K. Basically more than 90% of the market price points could never be achieved if you are using those procs.
