Yes assuming the software works on ARM or ATOM. 64-bit is coming so the days are closer when low power servers will find their way into data center applications. Still ISVs must support the chips. But for sure they will appeal to many Big Data apps which today underutilize servers and consume significant power.
What's important? While capex clearly matters it's OPEC that will kill TCO. So manageability, power, cooling and sometimes space (where space is scarce and expensive). Also compatibility with a good set of apps is important.
