How can a processor reduce the cost of ownership for my company’s upcoming Windows Vista deployment?
There are four major areas of TCO (total cost of ownership): capital costs, administrative costs, technical support costs and end-user downtime costs. With the right processor, capital costs are reduced by choosing a more inexpensive solution. However, you have to be sure that the more inexpensive solution will still maintain low costs in the other three areas. Choosing a more energy-efficient CPU, such as the AMD 690 Series Chipset, will reduce power consumption across your enterprise, saving a great deal of administrative costs. Choosing a more reliable and stable solution will reduce, and sometimes eliminate, technical support and end-user downtime costs.
