The Dell R900 according to:

Intel quotes a TDP of 130W for the X7450 processors and this made its mark in our power tests as our in-line power meter showed the system pulling 24W in standby and 488W with Windows Server 2008 running in idle. With SiSoft Sandra pushing all twenty-four cores to the max, consumption peaked at 778W.

We compared these results with a Fujitsu Siemens Primergy RX600 Sequipped with four 2.4GHz E7450 processors, with a TDP of 90W. With the server in standby we saw a draw of 22W, 419W with the OS idling and 660W with SiSoft Sandra running.
