AMD EPYC 7H12 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7371: Comparison
EPYC 7H12 vs EPYC Embedded 7371: the l3 cache difference
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: EPYC 7H12 256 MB against EPYC Embedded 7371 64 MB, which puts EPYC 7H12 75% ahead. There is a split on boost clock as well, Up to 3.3 GHz on the EPYC 7H12 versus 3.8 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7371. Tdp is not the same on both, 280 W on the EPYC 7H12 versus 200 W on the EPYC Embedded 7371. They differ on core count too, 64 cores on the EPYC 7H12 versus 16 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7371. There is a split on thread count as well, 128 threads on the EPYC 7H12 versus 32 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7371. Base clock is not the same on both, 2.6 GHz on the EPYC 7H12 versus 3.1 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7371.
Which should you buy, EPYC 7H12 or EPYC Embedded 7371?
The EPYC 7H12 suits 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. Buy the EPYC Embedded 7371 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. Pcie lanes and socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.

Which one should you pick?
Choose 7H12 if you want the higher L3 cache (256 MB vs 64 MB) and the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes).
Choose 7371 if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
