Hi
120W seems pretty low power.
Last time I checked 8 core Xeon D uses around 85 Watt when doing basic Linux routing at low-ish speeds.
Always figured VPP would be much more power hungry? keeping all the cores busy all the time.

Some folks may want more PCI slots or dual PSU, so a fine alternative that I also run in production is the *Dell R630* [link https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/documents/dell-poweredge-r630-spec-sheet.pdf ] because it allows for up to 16x10G at line rate, using ~120W. In case you want to binge watch some VPP materials - take a look at my [NOG recordings] https://video.ipng.ch/c/ipngnetworks/videos?s=1 .
