AMD EPYC 8125P vs AMD EPYC 8224PN: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 8125P and EPYC 8224PN?
Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: EPYC 8125P 128 MB against EPYC 8224PN 64 MB, 50% in favour of EPYC 8125P. Measured rather than claimed: in SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip the EPYC 8224PN returns 226 against 224, a 1% lead. Memory bandwidth runs the same way, 307 GB/s on the EPYC 8125P versus 230.4 GB/s on the EPYC 8224PN, another win for EPYC 8125P. They differ on release year too, 2026 on the EPYC 8125P versus 2023 on the EPYC 8224PN. Core count is not the same on both, 16 cores on the EPYC 8125P versus 24 cores on the EPYC 8224PN. There is a split on thread count as well, 32 threads on the EPYC 8125P versus 48 threads on the EPYC 8224PN. There is a split on core architecture as well, Zen 5 on the EPYC 8125P versus Zen 4c on the EPYC 8224PN.
Who each one is for
The EPYC 8125P is the one to take 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. Buy the EPYC 8224PN 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.
What EPYC 8125P and EPYC 8224PN have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket, segment and smt support are identical here. They match on 5 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the EPYC 8125P and EPYC 8224PN differ on boost clock?
Yes. Boost Clock reads 4.5 GHz on the EPYC 8125P versus 3 GHz on the EPYC 8224PN.
Is the Multi-Socket Support the same on the EPYC 8125P and EPYC 8224PN?
It is. Both are listed at Single Socket Only, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
