AMD TURBO CORE TECHNOLOGY
*Based on AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processors with up to 300 MHz in P1 boost state and up to 1 GHz+ in P0 boost state over base P2 clock frequency.
Base frequency with
TDP headroom
All core boost activated
(up to 500MHz)
Max turbo activated
(up to 1GHz+, half cores)
All Core Boost
When there is TDP headroom in a
given workload, AMD Turbo CORE
technology is automatically activated
and can increase clock speeds by
300-500 MHz* across all cores.
Max Turbo Boost
When a lightly threaded workload sends half the
“Bulldozer” modules into C6 sleep state but also
requests max performance, AMD Turbo CORE
technology can increase clock speeds by up to
1 GHz+* across half the cores.

not yet available. The price of an HP DL385 with AMD Opteron processors Model 6134 (1ku pricing $523) 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
standard warranty, power supply and no OS. Difference in processor speeds is based on the top SPECint®_rate2006 results published by, or submitted by AMD to,

– 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

1Server cost per VM (2P) AMD Opteron 6200-based server cost per VM is up to 72% less expensive
Assumes 1 VM/core, Dell R710 with two top bin Intel Xeon processor Model X5690 is $7,361, has 12 cores and 12VMs, $613/VM.
Since pricing for a Dell R715 with two top bin AMD Opteron processor Model 6282 SE is not yet available, the similarly priced AMD
Opteron processor Model 6140 was used and the server yielded a price of $5406, has 32 cores and 32VMs, $169/VM . Servers
were configured with 32GB RAM, 146GB 10K hdd, and 3yr base warranty and large enterprise pricing is from www.dell.com as of
10/27/11 and 10/28/11.
Server cost per VM (4P) AMD Opteron 6200-based server cost per VM is up to 77% less expensive
Assumes 1 VM/core, HP DL 580 G7 with four top bin Intel Xeon processor Model E7-4870 is $28,936, has 40 cores and 32VMs,
$723/VM. Since pricing for an HP DL585 with four top bin AMD Opteron processor Model 6282 SE is not yet available, the
similarly priced AMD Opteron processor Model 6140 was used and the server yielded a price of $10,698, has 64 cores and 64VMs,
$167/VM. Servers were configured with 64GB RAM, 72GB 15K hdd, and 3yr base warranty and large enterprise pricing is from
www.hp.com as of 11/4/11. VMware vSphere pricing not included, assuming both servers configured with versions 5.0 or 4.1u2,
which are the same price for AMD- and Intel-based servers.
²AMD Opteron 6200 Series-based 2P servers can support up to 32VMs each, assuming 1 VM per core. 21 servers fit in a rack x
32 VMs = 672 VMs per rack. Intel Xeon 5600 Series-based 2P servers can support up to 12VMs each, based on core counts
listed at www.intc.com/pricelist.cfm as of 10/24/11, which equates to 21 servers x 12 VMs = 252 VMs. # of vCPUs for 16 VMs =
max cores/16.

2 Intel can only process one 128-bit instruction at a time. See page 13 of the Intel Hot Chips presentation (http://www.hotchips.org/archives/hc18/3_Tues/HC18.S9/HC18.S9T4.pdf).
AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series has FMAC that can execute an FMA4 execution (a=b+c*d) in one cycle vs. 2 cycles that would be required for FMA3 or standard SSE floating point
calculation. Intel cannot multiply and add in one clock cycle (FMA4 and XOP instructions). See page 9 of the Intel Hot Chips presentation
(http://www.hotchips.org/archives/hc18/3_Tues/HC18.S9/HC18.S9T4.pdf).
²GFLOPS = # processors x processor clock speed x # cores per processor x # 32-bit operations per second. 2P server using AMD Opteron 6282 SE can generate up to 358 GFLOPs. 21
(2P) servers per rack x 358 = 7518 GFLOPs per rack. 2P server using Intel Xeon 5690 can generate up to 166 GLOPS per server. Therefore, it take over 2 racks (over 45 Intel-based
servers) to generate 7518 GFLOPs.
