- fleitz 13y agoNon web/db servers are often CPU bound, often CPU bound processes are doing parallelizable computations well suited to GPUs.

So if you have a webservice that allows users to upload images and then subsequently processes the images it's cost efficient to purchase few AMD APU's instead of massive Intel Xeon server. There are a lot of other things to do, but Imagemagick is something that has support for it right now.
