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,
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

 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.

Pricing and specifications from www.hp.com as of 10/26/11. As of 10/26/11, pricing for the HP DL385 with AMD Opteron processor Model 6282 SE (1ku pricing $1019) is not yet
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.
