AMD EPYC 8324P vs AMD EPYC 8325P: Comparison

What is the difference between EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8325P?

On l3 cache the spread is 50%, EPYC 8324P 128 MB against EPYC 8325P 256 MB, so EPYC 8325P takes it. Measured rather than claimed: in SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip the EPYC 8325P returns 418 against 298, a 29% lead. There is a split on boost clock as well, 3 GHz on the EPYC 8324P versus 4.5 GHz on the EPYC 8325P. There is a split on tdp as well, 180 W on the EPYC 8324P versus 175 W on the EPYC 8325P. Configurable tdp max is not the same on both, 155-225W on the EPYC 8324P versus 155 W on the EPYC 8325P. EPYC 8325P also leads on memory bandwidth, 230.4 GB/s on the EPYC 8324P versus 307 GB/s on the EPYC 8325P. They differ on product family too, EPYC 8004 Series on the EPYC 8324P versus EPYC 8005 Series on the EPYC 8325P. They differ on release year too, 2023 on the EPYC 8324P versus 2026 on the EPYC 8325P. There is a split on core architecture as well, Zen 4c on the EPYC 8324P versus Zen 5 on the EPYC 8325P. Base clock is not the same on both, 2.65 GHz on the EPYC 8324P versus 2.7 GHz on the EPYC 8325P.

EPYC 8324P vs EPYC 8325P: which one fits your build

The EPYC 8324P is the one to take for 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. The EPYC 8325P 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.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket, segment and core count are identical here. They match on 7 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8325P differ on all-core boost?

Yes. All-Core Boost reads 3 GHz on the EPYC 8324P versus 3.85 GHz on the EPYC 8325P.

Is the Thread Count the same on the EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8325P?

It is. Both are listed at 64 threads, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
