No. 2. Of course, that is understood. The numbers for the Minis are real. The numbers for the other devices are either derived from actual numbers of similar type servers (<a href="/blog/2007/02/13/power-consumption-actual-amp-readings/" rel="nofollow">IBM x336</a> for the Intel Xserves) or by estimating based on literature available for the items. As I said, it wasn't meant to be any sort of exact comparison, but merely a ballpark estimate of the value of each approach to a high-density web front-end. 1. No.

This is the only reliable way to get accurate power consumption numbers. Are the power figures derived by measuring the servers performing the actual task?
