The E7's go to 160W each. If you can drive better than 1.7x the performance and stay within the maximum thermal output per physical volume, I see no reason why not to use this.

One reason, perhaps, is if my binaries are compiled with Intel-specific optimizations and it's inconvenient to deploy separate AMD-optimized binaries.
