AMD EPYC 7713 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 740P: Comparison

EPYC 7713 vs EPYC Embedded 740P l3 cache compared

Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: EPYC 7713 256 MB against EPYC Embedded 740P 64 MB, 75% in favour of EPYC 7713. They differ on boost clock too, Up to 3.67 GHz on the EPYC 7713 versus 3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 740P. Tdp is not the same on both, 225 W on the EPYC 7713 versus 155 W on the EPYC Embedded 740P. There is a split on core count as well, 64 cores on the EPYC 7713 versus 24 cores on the EPYC Embedded 740P. They differ on thread count too, 128 threads on the EPYC 7713 versus 48 threads on the EPYC Embedded 740P.

EPYC 7713 vs EPYC Embedded 740P: which one fits your build

The EPYC 7713 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. Buy the EPYC Embedded 740P 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.

What EPYC 7713 and EPYC Embedded 740P have in common

The common ground is wider than the gap: pcie lanes, base clock and socket are identical here.

    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 740P if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
