1. Introducing the Six-CoreAMD Opteron™ EE Processor

3. IT professionals expect to spend 27% more for power and cooling per server over the next 4 years

4. Each $1 of server spend requires $.53 to power and cool, up ~5X over the last 10 yrs.

5. Low power servers driving a higher mix within the datacenter AMD Opteron™ Processor Standard and SE power bands AMD Opteron™ Processor HE & EE power bands Power & Cost Efficiency *Source: IDC, Worldwide Server Energy Expense 2008–2012 Forecast, December 2008

6. AMD Server Strategy Usage-based platforms Designed around key workloads Value at every price-pointNo compromise across the product line Performance-per-watt More performance samepower envelope* Top-line performance that’s bottom-line efficient *Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor compared to Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor

7. Powering the Cloud: Web Serving & Cloud Requirements Power Efficiency Energy efficiency is a key priority for customers, especially those with large “scale out” web farms I/O Throughput Memory and I/O capabilities for fast transaction throughput to deliver low user response time Scalability Predictable performance to handle the increased or decreased workload based on traffic and utilizations Consistent Platforms Multiple generations of servers need to live seamlessly in a single data center 4
