[Beowulf] Power consumption for opterons?

[Rayson Ho]

But the Itanium 2 is using so much energy that Intel couldn't rise the
frequency... or else the machine would melt :(

See the online lecture: "Things CPU Architects Need To Think About"

BTW, that guy used to work for Intel, and he also mentioned about the
compiler guys tuned the IA-64 compiler for the benchmarks...
