Endnotes 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 Factors v1.4 - September 2020 data used in this analysis can be found at https://www.carbon footprint.com/docs/2020_09_emissions_factors_sources_for_2020_electricity_v14.pdf and the US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator used in this analysis can be found at https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator.Pricing per CPU is 1kU pricing for AMD and Intel published pricing at https://ark.intel.com/, January 2022. All pricing is in USD. All performance numbers are based on AMD internal testing, February 2022. AMD tests were run with pre-production B1 CPUs on AMD reference platforms. Intel tests were run on production platforms. Product and company names are for informational purposes only and may be trademarks of their respective owners.
