Power consumption of the servers aren't the only problem, you also have to cool them, that usually takes far more power than the racks of servers doing all the work.
Sounds an interesting idea, I can't see Intel sitting back and letting this happen without a competing product though.
I assumed that Atom wouldn't really compete with this ARM system. What I figured is that this system wouldn't be great at number crunching but was designed for throughput and file I/O, basic dumb serving of HTTP requests, that kind of thing.
Could be wrong though, was just a guess
