"The A64 must run at 800MHz or something else this low to get that 1500+ rating."

Maybe 1GHz. Since it is likely supposed to work with a thin client, probably more than adequate for office tasks.

Re: That's quite dense.

The redundant power supplies are 600W each.

That means that each of the 20 blade servers, which include disk drive and ram, is powered by 30w.

So each Athlon 64 server, including disk drive and 2GB of ram, is drawing less than 30w under full load.

The CPU can't be pulling much more than 10 watts under true full load!

Dear Rink:

They also could be Geode NX1500s. Their essentially AXPs at 1GHz at around 6W TDPs. They already have thin client PCs using these.
