Quite possibly, yes. It'll have a lower specced PSU running at a higher
load - more efficient. Quite possibly 2.5 inch discs to be small - which
are slower, but use less power. Certainly not a heavy duty graphics
processor...

There aren't many of us that need that spec. And I really hope oil
companies are using proper server farms. Their data runs really nicely
across many systems - it's inherently parallel.

unused cpu cycles are much underharvested. Most of the world's processing power goes unused.
