AMD EPYC 7373X vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7272: Comparison
EPYC 7373X vs EPYC Embedded 7272 l3 cache compared
On l3 cache the spread is 92%, EPYC 7373X 768 MB against EPYC Embedded 7272 64 MB, so EPYC 7373X takes it. Boost clock is not the same on both, Up to 3.8 GHz on the EPYC 7373X versus 3.2 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7272. Tdp is not the same on both, 240 W on the EPYC 7373X versus 120 W on the EPYC Embedded 7272. They differ on core count too, 16 cores on the EPYC 7373X versus 12 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7272. Thread count is not the same on both, 32 threads on the EPYC 7373X versus 24 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7272. They differ on base clock too, 3.05 GHz on the EPYC 7373X versus 2.9 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7272.
Who each one is for
The EPYC 7373X is the one to take for datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is not built for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs. The EPYC Embedded 7272 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.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: pcie lanes and socket are identical here.
