MLNTCO-001 The Bare Metal TCO (total cost of ownership) Estimator solution compares the selected AMD EPYC™ and Intel® Xeon® CPU based server solutions required to deliver a TOTAL_PERFORMANCE of 25000 unit of integer
performance based on published the SPECrate®2017_int_base scores for Intel and AMD measured estimated scores for AMD EPYC 7003. This analysis is based on tool VERSION: 02/20/2021 v0.9982. This estimation reflects a 4 year timeframe. This analysis compares a 2 CPU AMD EPYC EPYC_7763 powered server with a measured estimated SPECrate®2017_int_base score of 802; compared to a 2 CPU Intel Xeon Gold_6258R based server with a SPECrate®2017_int_basescore of 397, https://spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2020q3/cpu2017-20200915-23981.pdf. Both AMD EPYC and Intel based servers use the same estimated cost for the following elements of the analysis: server chassis size of 2RU at a costof $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 2).The EPYC powered solution estimates are: 32 2P EPYC 7763 powered total servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $19232 perserver, which includes total system memory of 768GB, which is 6GB of memory / core and a total system memory cost of $3072; internal storage cost of $380. The total AMD EPYC hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $615424.
Each server draws ~611kWhr per month. For the 4 years of this EPYC powered solution analysis the: total solution power cost is ~$225240 which includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$471468, and the total real estate cost is~$77760. The total 4 year TCO estimate for the AMD solution is $1389892.The Intel based solution estimates are: 63 2P Xeon Gold 6258R based total servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $12316 per server, which includes total
system memory of 384GB, which is 6.9GB of memory / core and a total system memory cost of $1536; internal storage cost of $380. The total Intel hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $775908. Each server draws ~476kWhr per
month. For the 4 years of this Intel based solution analysis the: total solution power cost is $345460 which includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$928200, and the total real estate cost is ~$103680. The total 4 year TCO
estimate for the Intel solution is $2153248.Delivering 25000 of estimated SPECrate®2017_int_base performance, produces the following estimated results: the AMD EPYC solution requires 49% fewer servers [1-(AMD server count / Intel
server count)]; 25% less space [1-(AMD rack count / Intel rack count)]; 35% less power [1-(AMD power cost / Intel power cost)]; providing a 35% lower 4 year TCO [1-(AMD TCO / Intel TCO)].AMD processor pricing based on 1KU price as ofFebruary 2021.

MLNTCO-003: 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 notused as a basis for decision making over actual testing. This estimate compares the selected AMD EPYC™ and Intel® Xeon® CPU based server solutions required to deliver ~10,000 units of integer performance basedon the published scores for 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable (“Ice Lake”) and AMD 7003 CPU based servers. This analysis is based on Bare Metal Server TCO v1.3 - Master.xlsm. This estimation reflects a 3 year timeframe.
This analysis compares a 2P AMD EPYC EPYC_7763 powered server with a best SPECrate®2017_int_base score of 839 (https://spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2021q1/cpu2017-20210219-24936.html) compared to a
2P Intel Xeon Platinum_8380 based server with a best SPECrate®2017_int_base score of 558 (https://spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2021q2/cpu2017-20210330-25513.html) as of 4/8/2021
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 peradmin: 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 2.0.
The EPYC powered solution estimates are: 12 total 2P EPYC 7763 powered servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $23,908 per server, which includes total system memory of 1024GB, which is 8GB of memory /core and a total system memory cost of $5248; internal storage cost of $380. The total estimated AMD EPYC hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $286,896. Each server draws ~680 kWhr per month. For the 3
years of this EPYC powered solution analysis the: total solution power cost is ~$70503 which includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$132600, and the total real estate cost is ~$19440. The total 3 TCO
estimate for the AMD solution is ~$509,439.
The Intel based solution requires 18 total 2P Xeon Platinum 8380 powered servers at a hardware only acquisition cost of $24326 per server, which includes total system memory of 1024GB, which is 12.8GB of memory /core and a total system memory cost of $5248; internal storage cost of $380. The total estimated Intel hardware acquisition cost for this solution is $437,868. Each server draws ~741 kWhr per month. For the 3 years of
this Intel based solution analysis the: total solution power cost is ~$115239 which includes the PUE factor; the total admin cost is ~$198900, and the total real estate cost is ~$38880. The total 3 TCO estimate for the Intelsolution is ~$790,887.
Delivering 10000 of estimated SPECrate®2017_int_base performance produces the following estimated results: the AMD EPYC solution requires 33% fewer servers [1-(AMD server count / Intel server count)]; 50% lessspace [1-(AMD rack count / Intel rack count)]; 39% less power [1-(AMD power cost / Intel power cost)]; costing 34% less ([1-(AMD hardware acquisition cost/Intel hardware acquisition cost)], providing a 36% lower 3 year
TCO [1-(AMD TCO / Intel TCO)]. AMD processor pricing based on 1KU price as of April 1, 2021. Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor data and pricing from https://ark.intel.com as of April 6, 2021. All pricing is in USD.
