TOTAL HARDWARE BUDGET COMPARISONS

The focus for a Hardware Budget Analysis estimation is not TCO. It is to obtain the most compute possible within a stated budget amount. This means that you are targeting the purchase of more servers, more compute power by design.
Your Hardware cost will be very close to the same for both scenarios.
But when AMD delivers more compute power for your dollar, more servers, you will have higher admin cost, higher power cost, and a larger footprint. This is expected.
The goal is more computing power for your dollar.
