tf> most power in data centers is wasted for the data transport [...] CPU is not that dominant. Am I right?

perhaps.

you don't see 48,000-watt power supplies in a computer (but you do in a Cisco 7718).

that being said, the greatest demand/waste isn't typically the TDP of the CPU ... it's everything else in "the computer".
