AMD EPYC 7773X vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7302P: Comparison
EPYC 7773X vs EPYC Embedded 7302P l3 cache compared
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: EPYC 7773X 768 MB against EPYC Embedded 7302P 128 MB, which puts EPYC 7773X 83% ahead. They differ on boost clock too, Up to 3.5 GHz on the EPYC 7773X versus 3.3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7302P. There is a split on tdp as well, 280 W on the EPYC 7773X versus 155 W on the EPYC Embedded 7302P. Core count is not the same on both, 64 cores on the EPYC 7773X versus 16 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7302P. They differ on thread count too, 128 threads on the EPYC 7773X versus 32 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7302P. There is a split on base clock as well, 2.2 GHz on the EPYC 7773X versus 3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7302P.
Which should you buy, EPYC 7773X or EPYC Embedded 7302P?
The EPYC 7773X suits 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 7302P for 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 and socket included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 7773X if you want the higher L3 cache (768 MB vs 128 MB) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).
Choose 7302P if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
