It seems an AMD internal memo related to the upcoming Shanghai CPU has found its way into the hands of the polish site PCLab.pl.
In the memo Randy Allen, Senior Vice President, Computing Solutions waxes enthusiastic about what Shanghai means to AMD at one point calling it "the industry's price / performance-per-watt leader for x86 servers, with dominant performance in workloads that matter: virtualization, web serving, and database."
He then goes on to relate how Shanghai will launch under expected TDP and exceed excepted clocks (unlike Barcelona) and for a nice poetic touch quotes CS Lewis to get the team motivated.
Take a look at the PCLab.Pl post translated by Google.

"
Based on internal testing and addressing the biggest partners Allen concludes that AMD has the "best in the business server platform."
