Thats true, but they are a lot more expensive.

I've been looking to replace my current intel 10watt server with a AMD ~10 watt device for a >3x performance boost, but they are all going to cost >$250.

My current ARM server runs samba, transmission, icecast2 +deefuzzer and nginx for less than 4 W, including the power for a 1 TB Sata3 SSD. No idea how its performances compare to a 10 W x86 machine but it idles all the time and 4 W < 10 W. It costs about 100 Euro.

I don't know about the power requirements, but you can get Intel-based mini PCs for $100 on Amazon.
