    Desktops? Screw desktops. (Unless of course you're one of those
    environmental friendly guys, but then you probably are simply too cheap
    to buy a SUV too!)

    But rather think "data center".

    Those guys want maximum cycles per watt. One way of getting there is
    using less watts when we don't use all cycles. This bring down power
    consumption, which directly brings down heat production, which brings
    down A/C needs.

    Everyone wants to save power.
