AMD EPYC 7513 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7551: Comparison
EPYC 7513 vs EPYC Embedded 7551 l3 cache compared
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: EPYC 7513 128 MB against EPYC Embedded 7551 64 MB, which puts EPYC 7513 50% ahead. Boost clock is not the same on both, Up to 3.65 GHz on the EPYC 7513 versus 3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7551. They differ on tdp too, 200 W on the EPYC 7513 versus 180 W on the EPYC Embedded 7551. There is a split on base clock as well, 2.6 GHz on the EPYC 7513 versus 2 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7551.
Who each one is for
The EPYC 7513 is the one to take for 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. The EPYC Embedded 7551 suits 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
Where they agree, they agree completely, pcie lanes, core count, thread count and socket included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 7513 if you want the higher L3 cache (128 MB vs 64 MB) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).
Choose 7551 if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
