89% power savings
94% space savings
63% cost savings
2,800 servers into a single HP Redstone Server Development Platform rack unit
Each Core consumes 1.5 w
Each server unit (card sized) consumes 5 wats
But it uses ARM and not meant for general purpose computing. IMO, This
limits the platform greatly and HP is just trying something different.
Although, It will be good see a platform challenging the dominance of
x86 and ending Intel's monopoly.
