If you don't mind me giving you the question that you've missed? Is this how Intel imagine consolidation and migration: "He [Pat Gelsinger] used the example of 184 Intel Xeon single core servers from 2005 in a datacenter, now due for replacement. They could be replaced by 184 Xeon 5500 based servers for a 9X performance gain with an 18% reduction in annual energy costs." http://www.dailytech.com/A+Closer+Look+at+Intels+Nehalembased+Xeon+5500+Series/article14701.htm In other words, migration of Intel servers is done by opening windows and doors of the server room, and by trowing old server through windows and pushing new servers through doors. Why bother with keeping the infrastructure intact and changing just CPUs?! Who needs savings in these days? ;) Fantastic read!
