well, you are taking about the "powercaculation" that are by OEM for price negociation ... lol ... you are more naive than I though if you believe those ... They are design to get your price down my friend ... wake up

I have a story for you ...

It is a man who go to a watch store, he ask to the clock master, do you have a clock that is red with green dot in the back ground ... then, he master says "hell no!"
Then , the customer says: "So, it is 10% off on the others" ...

lol man ... you are so funny some time.

now who's naive here , I don't give a what your company has written on a so called L,E,W,X serie which is rated at a certain TDP. Those TDP/ACP figures changed into a marketing sales argument with retared ratings, for me that is something a hardware vendor should take care about to calculate system air flow, electronics etc. Perhaps your company could add additional star rating for your server cpu's just like in your stupid consumer brand logo's

I don't care what OEM company A rates as total system power or B, wouldn't even think of a fact that would drive me to distribute other vendors just for that, have any idea what a world wide service organisation means? All we need to know what that total system is expected to consume on idle and max load for BTU calculations and power calculation. What kind of cpu we will take will not be depending on TDP or decided by again marketing hyped spec calculations although those are good indicators, that is where those spec and manipulated compilers end.

Again try to be neutral, For a certain OEM with the same server platform type but different cpu manufacturer they do calculations on power consumption then you can take conclusions what they are really consuming.
Those vendors should be neutral on that! accept for the fact that there are always people who give certain rebates to buy and sell crap remember?

Weather or not a certain system is more powerfull, gets more don in a certain time, less total cost or wathever is another discussion, you dragged in the basic powerconsumption linked to TDP.
Don't forget it is just about 1 year that your company can drag about lower power consumption on some parts, for another 6 years you could only eat paper, now lets see again what will happen in a few days.
