I_banker, Is there some benefit to making high-end server hardware common with low-end and desktop hardware?

The interfaces can be similar. The overall hardware doesn't necessarily have to be.

After all, consider the fact that the Xeon bus is almost identical to the Celeron bus. (Yes, the processor logic cores are 95% similar, but the point is that high-end server hardware can share a similar interface with low-end desktop hardware.)
