AMD EPYC 7303P vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7452: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 7303P and EPYC Embedded 7452?
Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: EPYC 7303P 64 MB against EPYC Embedded 7452 128 MB, 50% in favour of EPYC Embedded 7452. They differ on boost clock too, Up to 3.4 GHz on the EPYC 7303P versus 3.35 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7452. Tdp is not the same on both, 130 W on the EPYC 7303P versus 155 W on the EPYC Embedded 7452. There is a split on core count as well, 16 cores on the EPYC 7303P versus 32 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7452. They differ on thread count too, 32 threads on the EPYC 7303P versus 64 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7452. Base clock is not the same on both, 2.4 GHz on the EPYC 7303P versus 2.35 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7452.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 7303P for datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is the wrong buy for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs. The EPYC Embedded 7452 suits industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is not the pick for consumer desktop or gaming builds and DIY PC upgrades.
What EPYC 7303P and EPYC Embedded 7452 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: pcie lanes and socket are identical here.
