AMD EPYC 8124P vs AMD EPYC 8225P: Comparison
EPYC 8124P vs EPYC 8225P l3 cache compared
L3 cache is where these two genuinely part company, EPYC 8124P 64 MB against EPYC 8225P 128 MB, a 50% lead for EPYC 8225P. Measured rather than claimed: in SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip the EPYC 8225P returns 328 against 154, a 53% lead. Add memory bandwidth to that, 230.4 GB/s on the EPYC 8124P versus 307 GB/s on the EPYC 8225P, and the pattern holds. Product family is not the same on both, EPYC 8004 Series on the EPYC 8124P versus EPYC 8005 Series on the EPYC 8225P. Release year is not the same on both, 2023 on the EPYC 8124P versus 2026 on the EPYC 8225P. There is a split on core count as well, 16 cores on the EPYC 8124P versus 24 cores on the EPYC 8225P. Thread count is not the same on both, 32 threads on the EPYC 8124P versus 48 threads on the EPYC 8225P.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 8124P for 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. The EPYC 8225P 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.
What EPYC 8124P and EPYC 8225P have in common
Where they agree, they agree completely, memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket, segment and smt support included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 5 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the EPYC 8124P and EPYC 8225P differ on boost clock?
Yes. Boost Clock reads 3 GHz on the EPYC 8124P versus 4.5 GHz on the EPYC 8225P.
Is the Multi-Socket Support the same on the EPYC 8124P and EPYC 8225P?
It is. Both are listed at Single Socket Only, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
