Those sort of high wattage configurations are only really useful for seeing your system at the top of the benchmarking charts. Nearly everything that scales to 64 cores will scale to multiple machines, at which point you're getting much better performance per watt by adding a machine which doubles performance at double the power than by unlimiting clock speed which gives you a small percentage improvement in performance in exchange for quadruple the power consumption.
