an i5-7500 should be faster
4 cores worth of Kaby Lake is faster than 32 cores worth of Interlagos?
Comment on Lowering power consumption on Opteron

Those old server CPUs and motherboards just draw a ton of power, I’m not sure there’s much more you can do.
It might be best to change hardware if you need lower power draw, a $50 PC off ebay with an i5-7500 should be faster and a only uses about 15W idle.

Well definitely faster than 1 Opteron at least: cpubenchmark.net/…/AMD-Opteron-6272-vs-Intel-i5-7…
Single thread is massively better, but if that’s useful or not depends on the kinds of applications you’re running.

OP seems to be looking for LibreBoot compatibility, so it might not be as easy.
