MLNTCO-021: 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 AMD EPYC™ SERVER VIRTUALIZATION and GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS TCO ESTIMATION TOOL tool compares the 2P AMD EPYC™ and
the 2P Intel® Xeon® server solutions required to deliver 1200 total virtual machines (VM), requiring 1 core and 8GB of memory per VM. The analysis includes both hardware and virtualization software
components. Hardware costs (CPU + memory + storage + chassis): The 2P AMD 64 core EPYC_7713 processor used in this solution analysis provides 128 total cores per server, each processor cost $7060 and
the server uses 32 x 32GB DIMN to achieve the minimum required memory footprint, in a 1RU server chassis that cost $2200, and requires 1 server racks. The AMD solution has a total estimated hardware
acquisition cost of $217880. The 40 core Intel Xeon Platinum_8380 processor used in this solution analysis provides 80 total cores per server. Each processor cost $8666 and the server uses 16 x 64GB DIMMS
to achieve the minimum required memory footprint, in a 2RU server chassis that cost $2500 and requires 2 server racks. The Intel solution has a total estimated hardware acquisition cost of $390060.
OPERATING COSTS: The core assumptions for this analysis are as follows: Cost of power @ $0.12 with kwatts (kW) of power to each rack and a PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.7 and a server rack size of
42RU. Each server has 1 hard drives drawing 3 watts each. Server Admin annual salary is $85000 managing 30 physical servers with a salary burden rate of 30%. The VM Admin salary is $85000, with a
burden rate of 30% and managing 400 VMS.AMD has estimated OpEx costs as follows: a hardware admin cost of $110500, a real estate cost of $19440, and a power cost of $40208.4, for a total estimated 3
year TCO cost (hardware cost and operating expense) of $388028 with AMD. Estimated OpEx costs for Intel are: hardware admin cost of $165750, real estate cost of $38880, and power cost of
$58704.HARDWARE TCO: This is the CapEx and OpEx directly associated with the hardware. The AMD EPYC_7713 solution requires 10 - 2P servers with a CapEx of $217880 with a total estimated 3 year TCO
cost (CapEx plus OpEx) of $388028. The Intel Platinum_8380 processor requires 15 - 2P servers with a CapEx of $390060 with a total estimated 3 year TCO cost (CapEx plus OpEx) of $653394. The AMD
solution has an estimated 41% lower hardware TCO for this virtualization solution, 1 - ($388028 ÷ $653394) = 41%, than the Intel solution.VIRTUALIZATION TCO: Analysis is based on the following estimates:
3 year Virtualization (hardware, operating, and software cost) for the Intel solution is $2005974 and $1621248 for the AMD solution. This means that the AMD solution is ~19% less expensive over three years. 1
-($1621248 ÷ $2005974) = 19%. The EPYC solution 1st year TCO is $844816 and the Intel 1st year TCO is $1167418. The AMD solution 1st year TCO per VM of $704.01 where the Intel 1st yr. solution is $972.85.
The AMD 1st year TCO per VM is $268.83, or ~28% lower than Intel. The 1st year TCO per VM is calculated by taking the 1-year TCO (hardware, software, and 1st year OpEx) and dividing it by the total number of
VMs. The virtualization software used in this analysis is VMware with a VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus w/ Production support license. This analysis uses license pricing of $5968 per Socket + Core with 3
year support. More information on VMware software can be found @ https://store-us.vmware.com/vmware-vsphere-enterprise-plus-284281000.html. For 1200 VMS with 1 core(s) per VM, and 8 GB of
memory per VM, the Intel Platinum_8380 processor requires 15 servers, and 60 licenses. The AMD EPYC_7713 solution requires 10 servers and 40 licenses. The AMD solution requires 33% fewer servers than the
Intel solution. The AMD server and virtualization software license cost are $456600, and the Intel cost are $748140. Hardware and virtualization cost are ~$291540 or ~39% Lower w/ AMD. AMD EPYC_7713
powered servers save ~154132.2kWh 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 ~69.86 Metric Tons of CO2 equivalents. This
results in the following estimated savings based on United States data, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Avoided of one of the following: 15 USA Passenger Cars Not Driven for 1 year; or; 5 USA Passenger Cars
Not Driven Annually; or; 173382 Miles Driven by Avg Passenger Car; or; or CO2 Emissions Avoided from: 7894 Gallons of Gasoline Not Used; or; 77261 Pounds of Coal Not Burned in USA; or; 9 USA
Homes' Electricity Use for 1 year; or; 3 USA Homes' Electricity Use Annually; or;or Carbon Sequestered equivalent to: 1153 Tree Seedlings Grown for 10 years in USA; or; 84 Acres of USA Forests in 1 year;
or; 27.94 Acres of USA Forests Annually. The 2020 Grid Electricity Emissions Factors v1.4 - September 2020 data used in this analysis can be found at
