Maybe it's a case of YMMV, but my experience is exactly the opposite -
we've very recently replaced a number of older Compaq Proliant
quad-PIII 700MHz machines with a single modern 8-core 2.8GHz HP
Proliant.  The new box does quite a lot more work per kwH.  Older
single-core systems really are a lot less energy efficient.
