Geeky. America's server racks are the most intensive cosummer of its

nuclear/fossil/hydo fuel sources. Not that 8 graphic cores are in

need variously to shuffle bandwidths, though billions of dollars and

30-percentile returns are astronomical figures for cumulative amounts.

I wonder if this AMD trickery would be applicable to HPC clusters.
There you typically have all cores going 100% on some parallel crunching.
On a desktop, you tend to get different loads on each core, so you can
do the turbo/overdrive on some and low-power on others.
