AMD EPYC 7552 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7402P: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 7552 and EPYC Embedded 7402P?
On l3 cache the spread is 33%, EPYC 7552 192 MB against EPYC Embedded 7402P 128 MB, so EPYC 7552 takes it. Boost clock is not the same on both, Up to 3.3 GHz on the EPYC 7552 versus 3.35 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7402P. Tdp is not the same on both, 200 W on the EPYC 7552 versus 180 W on the EPYC Embedded 7402P. They differ on core count too, 48 cores on the EPYC 7552 versus 24 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7402P. Thread count is not the same on both, 96 threads on the EPYC 7552 versus 48 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7402P. They differ on base clock too, 2.2 GHz on the EPYC 7552 versus 2.8 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7402P.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 7552 for datacenter and cloud compute and virtualization-dense server workloads, though it is not the pick for consumer desktop builds and single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads on lower core-count SKUs. The EPYC Embedded 7402P is the one to take for industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is the wrong buy 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.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 7552 if you want the higher L3 cache (192 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.
