MLNXTCO-001: 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™ AMD 3D V-Cache™ VALUE ANALYSIS & GHG TOOL compares the selected AMD EPYC™ and Intel® Xeon® CPU based server
solutions required to deliver a TOTAL_PERFORMANCE of 4600 jobs per day with Ansys® cfx-50 using the performance scores in this analysis for Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC CPU based servers. This estimation
reflects a 3-year time frame. This analysis compares a 2P AMD EPYC_7573X (32 cores per CPU) powered server with a Ansys® cfx-50 jobs per day of 484.67; to a 2P Intel Platinum_8362 (32 cores per CPU)
based server with a Ansys cfx-50 jobs per day of 239.51. A server powered by the EPYC_7573X can deliver up to 102% more jobs per day than the Platinum_8362 based server. 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 12kW; and a PUE
(power usage effectiveness) of 1.7. The AMD EPYC powered solution is estimated to take 10 total 2P EPYC_7573X powered servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $19564 per server, which includes
$5590 per CPU, total system memory of 1024GB, which is 16GB of memory / core and a total system memory cost of $5504; internal storage cost of $380. The total estimated AMD EPYC hardware
acquisition cost for this solution is $195640. Each server draws ~754kWhr per month. For the 3 years of this analysis the: EPYC total solution power cost is ~$55406 which includes the PUE factor; the total
admin cost is ~$110499, and the total real estate cost is ~$19440 using 1 rack(s). The total 3-year TCO estimate for the EPYC solution is $370802. The Intel based solution is estimated to take 20 total 2P
Platinum_8362 powered servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $20080 per server, which includes $5828 per CPU, total system memory of 1024GB, which is 16GB of memory / core and a total system
memory cost of $5504; internal storage cost of $380. The total estimated Intel hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $401600. Each server draws ~743kWhr per month. For the 3 years of this analysis
the: Intel total solution power cost is ~$109203 which includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$221001, and the total real estate cost is ~$38880 using 2 rack(s). The total 3-year TCO estimate for the
Intel solution is $750318. AMD EPYC powered servers have a $379516 or 51% lower 3-year TCO.Delivering a minimum score of 4600 for Ansys cfx-50 produces the following estimated results: the EPYC_7573X
solution requires 50% fewer servers; takes 50% less RU space; 49% less power. AMD EPYC_7573X powered servers save ~448315 kWh 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 ~203.19 Metric Tons of CO2 equivalents. This results in the following estimated savings based on United States data, for any one of the
following: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Avoided: 44 USA Passenger Cars Not Driven for 1 year; or 15 USA Passenger Cars Not Driven Annually; or 510604 Miles Driven by Avg Passenger Car; oror CO2
Emissions Avoided from: 22960 Gallons of Gasoline Not Used; or 224520 Pounds of Coal Not Burned in USA; or 37 USA Homes' Electricity Use for 1 year; or 12 USA Homes' Electricity Use Annually; oror
Carbon Sequestered equivalent to: 3353 Tree Seedlings Grown for 10 years in USA; or 244 Acres of USA Forests in 1 year; or 81.27 Acres of USA Forests Annually. The 2020 Grid Electricity Emissions
