Using Transmeta CPUs:
"Up against your standard 1U server or server appliance, the Texans have
reportedly clocked the thing at eight times the density, five-10 times the
power savings - California, pay attention, it's supposedly 15 watts versus
75 watts under load, seven watts versus 75 watts idle - six times lower
operating costs and four times the number of web pages served per square
foot"
"The 324 reportedly consumes 80% less power and generates 80% less heat at
peak performance than traditional web servers."
the big downside is low CPU performance for the $$$$
