The per-core power budget is similarly constrained for servers. Server processors have a power budget around 170W, but they also have more cores per die in order to compete on throughput. The articles Can a transient effect rescue silicon power scaling? A good rule of thumb is 60% of the 170W, or ~100W, is budgeted for cores.
