Not much. Most riders, including pros, have an average cadence somewhere around 90. Average power for 1 hour, on the other hand, can vary from 2 to 6W/kg and tells you much more.
While cadences vary depending on rider type and leg strength, for an individual rider their cadence normally increases with power. In other words if you're just cruising around your cadence will likely be lower than if you were doing a one hour, or shorter, time trial.
