AMD Beats Intel in 45 nm "Low Power" Server Test: Neal Nelson
- Thread starter alg7_munif
- Start date
I guess he had to hurry up and test that configuration since power hogging FB-DIMM platforms are being replaced in a few weeks (3/30).Care to guess how that's going to change the results?
Yeah...this test is useless...desperate last graps...kinda made me think of this guy

I sure as hell don't know
I'm guessing it will reduce the power, but will it be enough? the throughput will tip in intels favour, but I think AMD will retain the less power usage per cpu.

Power: down
Performance: up
You do the math...better IPP coupled with better wattage = Win.
(*hint-hint* This is what i7 was designed for...server usage)

Maybe you didn't read the post
I said it will perform better(better throughput) while having less power
but will it be using less power then the low power shanghais ? that part I thought AMD would retain

PowerStream Helping AMD to Save More Than Just Data
03/20/2009 07:49:06
Technology company expected to save $150,000 in annual electricity costs
YORK REGION, ONTARIO, Mar 20, 2009 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) -- AMD (NYSE:AMD), an industry-leading technology company which
designs computing and graphics solutions, expects to see a large reduction in their electricity bill this year at their Markham location
thanks to the Data Centre Incentive Program (DCIP), a conservation initiative pioneered by their local electricity distribution company
PowerStream with the support of the Ontario Power Authority (OPA).
PowerStream's DCIP initiative, offers financial incentives to participating commercial customers with data centres. Companies that reduce
electricity consumption by way of server consolidations or the installation of energy-efficient servers and other computer equipment are
eligible to receive financial incentives of $300 per kilowatt saved.
The AMD Markham location was one of the first PowerStream customers to participate in the pilot program, and is now expected to achieve
annual savings of at least $150,000. The successful pilot has enabled PowerStream and Toronto Hydro, another electric utility which now
offers a similar program, to extend this new initiative to other companies within their respective service territories.
"We are pleased to have introduced such a successful conservation program," said Patrick Guran, Chief Energy Conservation Officer at
PowerStream. "The technology now exists that can transform data centres into more energy-efficient operational areas for businesses. We are
pleased to be able to provide incentives that enable this to happen, which ultimately helps to protect the environment."
AMD Markham had impressive results from the pilot program; the company downsized the number of server racks in one of its data centres by
nearly 50% and reduced its electricity demand by 200 kilowatts while increasing the overall computing capacity.
"AMD Markham believes that climate change is a significant environmental challenge and we are dedicated to reducing our impact on the
environment," says Richard Conohan, Program Manager, Toronto Environmental Health and Safety, AMD. "Participating in the Data Centre
Incentive Program has helped us do this while simultaneously reducing our energy costs."
Through DCIP, participants see immediate and on-going financial savings with reduced energy consumption, as well as the reduction of
associated carbon emissions.
PowerStream launched the pilot for the Data Centre Incentive Program in May 2008 with more than six businesses responding.
