AMD EPYC 7343 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7662: Comparison

EPYC 7343 vs EPYC Embedded 7662 l3 cache compared

The gap that matters here is l3 cache: EPYC 7343 128 MB against EPYC Embedded 7662 256 MB, which puts EPYC Embedded 7662 50% ahead. Boost clock is not the same on both, Up to 3.9 GHz on the EPYC 7343 versus 3.3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7662. They differ on tdp too, 190 W on the EPYC 7343 versus 225 W on the EPYC Embedded 7662. There is a split on core count as well, 16 cores on the EPYC 7343 versus 64 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7662. They differ on thread count too, 32 threads on the EPYC 7343 versus 128 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7662. There is a split on base clock as well, 3.2 GHz on the EPYC 7343 versus 2 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7662.

Who each one is for

The EPYC 7343 suits datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is not the pick for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs. Buy the EPYC Embedded 7662 for industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is the wrong buy for consumer desktop or gaming builds and DIY PC upgrades.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: pcie lanes and socket are identical here.
