While going through stackoverflow architecture[1], I noticed that they try to keep CPU usage very low. Like <5%. Does that mean a 100+ TDP CPU is consuming <5 Watt? If that is the case long term than, it would change all the power budget planning. I mean the popular wisdom of "power costing more than hardware" might change drastically if we run those CPU at very low usage.[1] https://nickcraver.com/blog/2016/02/17/stack-overflow-the-architecture-2016-edition/
