You must have read many times and thru their Accelerate magazine AMD was also trying to explain that their servers are energy efficient and now this has been proved by efficiency test performed by Neal Nelson and Associates. AMD Opteron servers proved up to 15.2 percent more energy-efficient than those running Intel Xeon in a server-power-efficiency test performed by Neal Nelson and Associates, InfoWorld reports. That translates to annual electricity savings between $20.29 per server and $36.04 per server, depending on the workload, the study concluded. The benchmark tests were conducted on similarly configured 3GHz systems running Novell SUSE Linux, Apache2, and MySQL. AMD must be pleased with the results and having a party!
