MLNTCO-020: This scenario contains many assumptions and estimates and, while based on AMD internal research and best approximations, should be considered an example for information purposes only,
and not used as a basis for decision making over actual testing. The Bare Metal Server Greenhouse Gas Emissions TCO (total cost of ownership) Estimator Tool compares the selected AMD EPYC™ and Intel®
Xeon® CPU based server solutions required to deliver a TOTAL_PERFORMANCE of 10000 units of integer performance based on the published scores for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC CPU based servers. This
estimation reflects a 3-year time frame. This analysis compares a 2P AMD EPYC EPYC_7763 powered server with a SPECrate 2017_int_base score of 861, https://spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2021q4/cpu2017-
20211121-30148.pdf; compared to a 2P Intel Xeon Platinum_8380 based server with a SPECrate 2017_int_base score of 602, https://spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2021q2/cpu2017-20210521-26364.pdf. Both
AMD EPYC and Intel based servers use the same cost for the following elements of the analysis: server chassis size of 2RU at a cost of $2500 per chassis; internal storage $380; physical servers managed per
admin: 30; fully burdened cost per admin $110500; server rack size of 42; space allowance per rack of 27 sq feet; monthly cost of data center space $20 per sq foot; cost per kW for power $0.12; power drop per
rack of 8kW; and a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.7. The EPYC powered solution is estimated to take: 12 total 2P EPYC_7763 powered servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $23748 per server,
which includes $7890 per CPU, total system memory of 1024GB, which is 8GB of memory / core and a total system memory cost of $5088; internal storage cost of $380. The total estimated AMD EPYC
hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $284976. Each server draws ~755.1412kWhr per month. For the 3 years of this EPYC powered solution analysis the: total solution power cost is ~$66548.88 which
includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$132600, and the total real estate cost is ~$38880, using 2 racks. The total 3 TCO estimate for the AMD solution is $523004.88. The Intel based solution is
estimated to take 17 total 2P Platinum_8380 powered servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $24206 per server, which includes $8099 per CPU, total system memory of 1024GB, which is 12.8GB of
memory / core and a total system memory cost of $5088; internal storage cost of $380. The total estimated Intel hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $411502. Each server draws ~751.4912kWhr per
month. For the 3 years of this Intel based solution analysis the: total solution power cost is ~$93822.048 which includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$187851, and the total real estate cost is
~$58320 using 3 racks. The total 3 TCO estimate for the Intel solution is $751495.048. AMD EPYC powered servers have a $228490 lower 3-year TCO. Delivering 10000 estimated score of
SPECrate 2017_int_base performance produces the following estimated results: the AMD EPYC solution requires 29% fewer servers [1-(AMD server count / Intel server count)]; 33% less space [1-(AMD rack
count / Intel rack count)]; 29% less power [1-(AMD power cost / Intel power cost)]; providing a 30% lower 3-year TCO [1-(AMD TCO / Intel TCO)]. delivering ~98 or ~1% Better w/ AMD SPECrate 2017_int_base
solution score AMD EPYC_7763 powered servers save ~227276.4kWh of electricity for the 3 years of this analysis. Leveraging this data, using the Country / Region specific electricity factors from the '2020 Grid
Electricity Emissions Factors v1.4 - September 2020', and the United States Environmental Protection Agency 'Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator', the AMD EPYC powered server saves ~103.01 Metric
Tons of CO2 equivalents. This results in the following estimated savings based on United States data, Emissions Avoided equivalent to one of the following: 22 USA Passenger Cars Not Driven for 1 year; or;
or 7.45 USA Passenger Cars Not Driven Annually; or; or 11640 Gallons of Gasoline Not Used; or; oror Carbon Sequestered equivalent to: 1700 Tree Seedlings Grown for 10 years in USA; or; or 41.2 Acres of
USA Forests Annually. The 2020 Grid Electricity Emissions Factors v1.4 - September 2020 data used in this analysis can be found at
