The calculations and pricing listed exclude VAT and rely on data collected in November 2023, which is accurate at the time of this publication. For all comparative purposes, the Dell Precision 5820 workstation with professional graphics serves as the benchmark. Office electricity is charged at a rate of 34p per kWh, while data centre electricity is priced at 0.59p per kWh, inclusive of rack space, electricity, and a guaranteed 100Mbps data rate, delivered via a multi-homed 10Gbps network uplink. The calculation for floor space is based on 0.5 sqft of space per workstation, with a monthly rate of £55 per square foot. Support and installation costs are determined by averaging maintenance charges for equipment aged 3, 4, and 5 years, as detailed in the chart breakdowns. The 24/7 usage cost is predicated on continuous daily usage for activities like rendering, whereas the 8-hour usage cost is based on 8 hours of active usage per day, with the workstation idling outside of these hours but remaining powered on. Public cloud expenses are derived from data obtained from Azure and AWS, comparing various graphics accelerated instances* and incorporating an implementation cost of 1% of the 3-year expenditure and an annual support cost equivalent to 3% of the 3-year expenditure. In all scenarios, it is assumed that you are responsible for providing your own end-device to access the end workstation such as a laptop or Intel NUC, regardless of its location, whether on Computle, in an office, a data center, or the public cloud.Computle 8GB plan is equivalent to a Dell Precision 5820 workstation featuring an i9-10900X CPU, 64GB RAM, an AMD Radeon PRO W6600 8GB GPU, and a 512GB NVMe storage, boasting a PassMark CPU benchmark score of 22467 and a PassMark GPU score of 16053.
