Understanding the Environmental Impacts of AMD Products

We strive to create products that enable environmental solutions and help our customers better understand the climate impact of the products they use. Our product carbon footprint assessments estimate the total GHG emissions from “cradle to gate” product lifecycle stages, including raw materials, manufacturing and transportation.

  1. Includes AMD high-performance CPU and GPU accelerators used for AI-training and high-performance computing in a 4-Accelerator, CPU-hosted configuration. Goal calculations are based on performance scores as measured by standard performance metrics (HPC: Linpack DGEMM kernel FLOPS with 4k matrix size; AI-training: lower precision training-focused floating-point math GEMM kernels such as FP16 or BF16 FLOPS operating on 4k matrices) divided by the rated power consumption of a representative accelerated compute node, including the CPU host + memory and 4 GPU accelerators.
  2. EPYC-030c: Calculation includes 1) base case kWhr use projections in 2025 conducted with Koomey Analytics based on available research and data that includes segment specific projected 2025 deployment volumes and data center power utilization effectiveness (PUE) including GPU HPC and machine learning (ML) installations and 2) AMD CPU and GPU node power consumptions incorporating segment-specific utilization (active vs. idle) percentages and multiplied by PUE to determine actual total energy use for calculation of the performance per Watt. 38x is calculated using the following formula: (base case HPC node kWhr use projection in 2025 * AMD 2025 perf/Watt improvement using DGEMM and TEC +Base case ML node kWhr use projection in 2025 * AMD 2025 perf/Watt improvement using ML math and TEC) /(Base case projected kWhr usage in 2025).

  3. In the AMD Corporate Responsibility Report and other AMD climate-related disclosures, AMD references this operational GHG reduction goal (market-based emissions) as a “science-based target” that is aligned with a 1.5˚C scenario. Per the California Climate and Carbon Disclosure Requirements (AB-1305), the basis for this statement is the AMD GHG goal is aligned with the Science-based Target initiative’s (SBTi’s) 1.5-degree minimum target ambition of 4.2% linear annual reduction. The SBTi criteria considers multiple climate scenario models from the IAMC and IEA. Interim progress by AMD toward the goal is disclosed in the AMD CR Report  (pages 31, 34) as measured by metric tCO2e of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions (market-based). The AMD 2020 base year value is 61,754 metric tCO2e and the 2030 target year value is 30,877 metric tCO2e (a 50% reduction). AMD reports total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for each interim year and undergoes third-party limited assurance of the Scope 1 and Scope 2 values, as well as the percentage completion toward the goal. For the most current AMD reported data, calendar year 2024, AMD reported 44,190 metric tCO2e Scope 1 and 2 emissions, approximately a 28% reduction from the 2020 baseline. The data received limited level assurance in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 Revised. 
  4. Reported data includes Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions (base year 2020). Based on AMD calculations that are third-party verified (limited level assurance).
  5. “Manufacturing Suppliers” are defined as suppliers that AMD buys from directly and that provide direct materials and/or manufacturing services to AMD.
  6. AMD calculations are third-party verified (limited level assurance) based on data supplied by our Manufacturing Suppliers, which is not independently verified by AMD.
  7. AMD defines renewable energy as energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power. AMD does not require a minimum amount of renewable energy to be sourced by Manufacturing Suppliers to be included in the goal. Data is provided by AMD suppliers and has not been independently verified by AMD.
