IDC believes replacement cycles being delayed from 3-4 years to every 4-5 years. Source IDC, 2009
1 Monthly Savings in utility and OS costs is determined by comparing the incremental costs associated with not refreshing 500 older single-core servers purchased back in 2005 vs. refreshing on a 15:1 ratio with new Xeon 5600 servers in Year 1. Warranty cost assumes $750/year per server if purchased after the initial OEM 3-year warranty period has expired. Actual costs are $50,877 (software), $18,641 (utility), and $31,250 (warranty), or >$100,000 total. Source: Xeon Server Refresh Savings Estimator.

• 5 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel® Xeon® 3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5680 based servers. Calculation includes analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of $900/year per server, per server cost of $7200 based on estimated list prices and estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and power comparisons are based on measured server side java benchmark results (Intel Corporation Feb 2010). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 15x.
