Like others have noted, it's 2-3 Watt's per core, that's pretty incredible given how it encompasses all the extra things the CPU does/supports and the inherent cost of it being not a big ol chip.

Specifically, they support substantially more memory at 12 channels, compared to the typical 2 and 128(+) lanes of PCIe 5 connectivity!

Because these systems are so dense, data centres can condense N servers into just a couple. And now, you only need 1 set of ancillary components like network cards or fans.

So, they're significantly more efficient from a few perspectives.

I've been wondering how much of this contract is pity on Boeing or Boeing capitulating to Trump.
