AMD EPYC 7713 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7272: Comparison
EPYC 7713 vs EPYC Embedded 7272 l3 cache compared
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: EPYC 7713 256 MB against EPYC Embedded 7272 64 MB, which puts EPYC 7713 75% ahead. There is a split on boost clock as well, Up to 3.67 GHz on the EPYC 7713 versus 3.2 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7272. Tdp is not the same on both, 225 W on the EPYC 7713 versus 120 W on the EPYC Embedded 7272. They differ on core count too, 64 cores on the EPYC 7713 versus 12 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7272. Thread count is not the same on both, 128 threads on the EPYC 7713 versus 24 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7272. They differ on base clock too, 2 GHz on the EPYC 7713 versus 2.9 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7272.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 7713 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 7272 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 7713 if you want the higher L3 cache (256 MB vs 64 MB) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).
Choose 7272 if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
