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.Information on Intel‟s specs as of 9/26/11 at http://www.intc.com/priceList.cfm.

As of 10/26/11, pricing for the HP DL385 with AMD Opteron processor Model 6282 SE (1ku pricing $1019) is not yetavailable. 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 Seriesprocessor-based servers is expected to be very similar. . Server configurations are identical except on the specifications listed above and include no OS.. Difference in processorspeeds 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 andmay differ from the performance of the servers priced and described above.
