AMD EPYC 7351 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7371: Comparison

What is the difference between EPYC 7351 and EPYC Embedded 7371?

Boost clock is the dividing line, EPYC 7351 Up to 2.9 GHz against EPYC Embedded 7371 3.8 GHz. There is a split on tdp as well, 155W / 170W on the EPYC 7351 versus 200 W on the EPYC Embedded 7371. Base clock is not the same on both, 2.4 GHz on the EPYC 7351 versus 3.1 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7371.

EPYC 7351 vs EPYC Embedded 7371: which one fits your build

Buy the EPYC 7351 for 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. The EPYC Embedded 7371 is the one to take 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

Everything else lines up. L3 cache, pcie lanes, core count, thread count and socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.

    Which one should you pick?

    Choose 7351 if you want the higher L3 cache (64 MB vs 64 MB) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).

    Choose 7371 if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
