They have enviromental benfits simply because they are more efficient in pretty much everyway possible (this therefor implies enviromental benefit).
If you think about it, having all the computer processors in a 100-desk office in one really powerful machine is obviously going to be more powerful, better for the enviroment, more stable and easier to upgrade than 100 different computer processors (most probably not being used and some running slowly at max. capacity).
The only people who stand to benefit from the current decentralised system of having 100's of under-used individual CPU's is the PC makers who obivously stand to charge a lot more.
