AMD EPYC 8225P vs AMD EPYC 8434PN: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 8225P and EPYC 8434PN?
Boost clock is the dividing line, EPYC 8225P 4.5 GHz against EPYC 8434PN 3 GHz. Measured rather than claimed: in SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip the EPYC 8434PN returns 406 against 328, a 19% lead. They differ on tdp too, 160 W on the EPYC 8225P versus 155 W on the EPYC 8434PN. EPYC 8225P also leads on memory bandwidth, 307 GB/s on the EPYC 8225P versus 230.4 GB/s on the EPYC 8434PN. Product family is not the same on both, EPYC 8005 Series on the EPYC 8225P versus EPYC 8004 Series on the EPYC 8434PN. They differ on release year too, 2026 on the EPYC 8225P versus 2023 on the EPYC 8434PN. Core count is not the same on both, 24 cores on the EPYC 8225P versus 48 cores on the EPYC 8434PN. Thread count is not the same on both, 48 threads on the EPYC 8225P versus 96 threads on the EPYC 8434PN. There is a split on core architecture as well, Zen 5 on the EPYC 8225P versus Zen 4c on the EPYC 8434PN. They differ on base clock too, 2.95 GHz on the EPYC 8225P versus 2 GHz on the EPYC 8434PN.
Which should you buy, EPYC 8225P or EPYC 8434PN?
Buy the EPYC 8225P 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 8434PN 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 8225P and EPYC 8434PN have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: l3 cache, memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket and segment are identical here. They match on 6 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the EPYC 8225P and EPYC 8434PN differ on all-core boost?
Yes. All-Core Boost reads 4.1 GHz on the EPYC 8225P versus 3 GHz on the EPYC 8434PN.
Is the SMT Support the same on the EPYC 8225P and EPYC 8434PN?
It is. Both are listed at Yes, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
