AMD EPYC 7352 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7402P: Comparison

What is the difference between EPYC 7352 and EPYC Embedded 7402P?

Boost clock is the dividing line, EPYC 7352 Up to 3.2 GHz against EPYC Embedded 7402P 3.35 GHz. There is a split on tdp as well, 155 W on the EPYC 7352 versus 180 W on the EPYC Embedded 7402P. Base clock is not the same on both, 2.3 GHz on the EPYC 7352 versus 2.8 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7402P.

Which should you buy, EPYC 7352 or EPYC Embedded 7402P?

The EPYC 7352 suits 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. Buy the EPYC Embedded 7402P for industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is not built 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 7352 if you want the higher L3 cache (128 MB vs 128 MB) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).

    Choose 7402P if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
