I recently came across a thread over at Hexus' FB page. There was a comment in the TR 3990X review post that reads " ...... People still think this field is packed full of people concerned with value, price to performance or power consumption." I'm not sure if s(he) is referring explicitly to those who are after the TR3990X (i.e workstation users), or Enterprise CPUs in general, but I thought in the server space at least power consumption is quite important as it ties directly with TCO. Does anyone here know the specifics of how an IT manager decides what (and when) to upgrade their servers to?
