20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ??

I m puzzle what is the difference between a PC with a 20amp IEC and one with 15amp IEC but same 15amp plug and drawing from the same circuit? Noticed most PC with 20amp IEC are sold with 15amp plug. Currently using a power amp which accepts only 20amp IEC. TQ you in advance

Jea48, CJ350 stock PC comes with a 15amp plug.
It doesnt make sense. As far as I understand it , shouldnt equipment with need a 20amp IEC comes with a 20amp plug which rightfully should be connected to a 20amp dedicated circuit with 20amp circuit breaker to maximise whatever current the equipment need? Refer to this link http://www.sweetwater.com/expert-center/techtips/d--01/09/2001
The only logic I can think of is that most house wiring is basically 15amp circuit with 15amp circuit breaker, hence, the 15amp plug. Happy listening

Perhaps the 20 amp IEC is for marketing. Perhaps there are very few components that actually consume "20 amps".
