– As of Nov 1, 2011, AMD Opteron™ processor Models 4200 EE have the lowest known power per core of any x86 server processor, at 35W

TDP (35W/8 = 4.375W/core). Intel 's lowest power per core server processor, L5630, is 40W TDP (40W/4 = 10W/core). See

– VMs/rack (2P and 4P) One rack of AMD Opteron 6200 Series-based servers can support 672 VMs (1 VM per core, 2U servers)

– This would take three racks of floor space and 56 2U Intel Xeon 5600 Series-based servers to do the same.

– Assumes 1 VM/core, AMD Opteron 6200 Series-based 2P 2U server has up to 32 cores, supports up to 32 VMs/server x 21 servers per rack,

which equals 672 VMs per server. Intel Xeon 5600 Series-based 2P 2U server has up to 12 cores, supports up to 12 VMs/server x 21 servers

available. The price of an HP DL385 with AMD Opteron processors Model 6172 (1ku pricing $989) was used as a proxy because pricing for AMD Opteron 6100 and 6200 Series

processor-based servers is expected to be very similar. . Server configurations are identical except on the specifications listed above and include no OS.. Difference in processor

speeds is based on the top SPECint®_rate2006 results published by, or submitted by AMD to, SPEC as of 10/26/2011 for 2P servers with the above identified processors and

may differ from the performance of the servers priced and described above. For the latest results, visit www.spec.org. See backup slide for configuration details.
