Maybe if you don't overclock it to 5.3GHz. I can easily pull 130.

You're comparing a cheap consumer grade 6core overclocked well beyond design operating at full load to a high end datacenter chip designed for performance and efficiency under idle conditions.

Your statement is correct, but I'm not sure the comparison really means much?

If your lights don't dim when overclocking, are you truly overclocking?
