Even derating the 106 by the 1.18 factor though you get 90 which is still above the 80 that is projected for AMD's Seattle and that at 25W. The main things it seems to have going for it are the two 10Gb Ethernet ports, larger memory capability and the encryption and compression hardware - it is a good mix for a web server.

How can everybody be missing this little fact:

Seattle has the SeaMicro fabric built-in.

While everybody is looking at minor differences between SPEC and TDP, Seattle can scale way up in dense, power-efficient, high-bandwidth, low-latency, and cost-saving dis-aggregated systems.

Avoton is single-socket, and needs all kinds of help if it's to be used in larger systems.
