AMD EPYC 7513 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7401: Comparison
EPYC 7513 vs EPYC Embedded 7401 l3 cache compared
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, EPYC 7513 128 MB against EPYC Embedded 7401 64 MB, so EPYC 7513 takes it. They differ on boost clock too, Up to 3.65 GHz on the EPYC 7513 versus 3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7401. They differ on tdp too, 200 W on the EPYC 7513 versus 155 W on the EPYC Embedded 7401. There is a split on core count as well, 32 cores on the EPYC 7513 versus 24 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7401. They differ on thread count too, 64 threads on the EPYC 7513 versus 48 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7401. There is a split on base clock as well, 2.6 GHz on the EPYC 7513 versus 2 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7401.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 7513 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 7401 is the one to take for 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
Everything else lines up. Pcie lanes and socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
