Good point! It seems like one might be able to get a bit more CPU for the money by going with AMD over Intel, but they seem to draw a lot more power. I did a little more searching yesterday, and AMD seems to draw about 3X as much power at a similar speed to Intel.
Updated Intel CPU chart...
The Xeon E3-1230V3 seems like a pretty good price/performance buy at $260.
