AMDs marketing is just as sketchy. Their new Zen6 server page claims 3.3x performance per watt over vera on "agentic workloads" for a 100 kW rack. Maybe they are comparing a CPU heavy rack to an nvidia vera rack with 50 kW of GPUs sitting idle, who knows?
You could try reading the footnotes, which include a link to <a href="https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/solutions/ai/methodology-description.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/solutions/a...
That doesn't clarify it and AMD says as much "Because these estimates rely on published results, internal measurements and projection-based
scaling factors, they are intended to provide directional comparison rather than direct measured rack benchmarks."
It's marketing after all and nobody should make buying decisions based on that.
