Efficient by Design
4th Gen EPYC CPU-powered servers can help IT organizations meet requirements to reduce cost, energy consumption, and save physical space. These AMD powered servers can meet performance demands with fewer physical servers. For example, running 2000 VMs on 11 2P AMD EPYC 9654 processor-powered servers will use up to 29% less power annually than the 17 2P Intel® Xeon™ Platinum 8490H processor-based servers required to deliver the same performance, while helping reduce CAPEX up to 46%.2
Lowering the Impact: How to keep datacenter power costs in check
Enterprises across the globe have never been more aware that they must take full responsibility for managing, and reducing, their environmental impact. To improve the situation, companies must address the efficiency of their IT infrastructure. In this Vanguard Report from 451 Research, learn more about how processor choice can improve energy efficiency.
Data Centers: Where Net-Zero Could be Won or Lost
IT leaders are adding energy efficiency to their data center modernization criteria, alongside the usual requirements of high performance, robust security, and ample flexibility. Learn more about how AMD’s 4th Gen EPYC™ processors are designed for performance and efficiency, help reduce enterprise energy usage, save costs, and help companies meet their data center sustainability goals.

- SP5-072: A 4th Gen EPYC 9654 powered server has highest overall scores in key industry-recognized energy efficiency benchmarks SPECpower_ssj®2008, SPECrate®2017_int_energy_base and SPECrate®2017_fp_energy_base. See details at https://www.amd.com/en/claims/epyc4#SP5-072
- SP5TCO-036: As of 01/18/2023 based on AMD Internal analysis using the AMD EPYC™ Server Virtualization & Greenhouse Gas Emission TCO Estimation Tool - version 12.10 estimating the cost and quantity of 2P AMD 96 core EPYC™ 9654 powered server versus 2P Intel® Xeon® 60 core Platinum 8490H based server solutions required to deliver 2000 total virtual machines (VM), requiring 1 core and 8GB of memory per VM for a 3-year period. This includes VMware software license cost of $6,558.32 per socket + one additional software for every 32 CPU core increment in that socket.
Environmental impact estimates made 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'.
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.
