AMD EPYC 7551P vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7371: Comparison
EPYC 7551P vs EPYC Embedded 7371: the boost clock difference
Boost clock is the dividing line, EPYC 7551P Up to 3 GHz against EPYC Embedded 7371 3.8 GHz. There is a split on tdp as well, 180 W on the EPYC 7551P versus 200 W on the EPYC Embedded 7371. There is a split on core count as well, 32 cores on the EPYC 7551P versus 16 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7371. Thread count is not the same on both, 64 threads on the EPYC 7551P versus 32 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7371. Base clock is not the same on both, 2 GHz on the EPYC 7551P versus 3.1 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7371.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 7551P 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 7371 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. L3 cache, pcie lanes and socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
