AMD EPYC 8324P vs AMD EPYC 8435P: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8435P?
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, EPYC 8324P 128 MB against EPYC 8435P 256 MB, so EPYC 8435P takes it. Measured rather than claimed: in SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip the EPYC 8435P returns 528 against 298, a 44% lead. Boost clock is not the same on both, 3 GHz on the EPYC 8324P versus 4.5 GHz on the EPYC 8435P. Tdp is not the same on both, 180 W on the EPYC 8324P versus 200 W on the EPYC 8435P. They differ on configurable tdp max too, 155-225W on the EPYC 8324P versus 155 W on the EPYC 8435P. Add memory bandwidth to that, 230.4 GB/s on the EPYC 8324P versus 307 GB/s on the EPYC 8435P, and the pattern holds. They differ on product family too, EPYC 8004 Series on the EPYC 8324P versus EPYC 8005 Series on the EPYC 8435P. They differ on release year too, 2023 on the EPYC 8324P versus 2026 on the EPYC 8435P. There is a split on core count as well, 32 cores on the EPYC 8324P versus 48 cores on the EPYC 8435P. They differ on thread count too, 64 threads on the EPYC 8324P versus 96 threads on the EPYC 8435P.
Which should you buy, EPYC 8324P or EPYC 8435P?
The EPYC 8324P is the one to take 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 8435P suits 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.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Memory channels, pcie lanes, cpu socket, segment and smt support read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 5 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8435P differ on core architecture?
Yes. Core Architecture reads Zen 4c on the EPYC 8324P versus Zen 5 on the EPYC 8435P.
Is the Multi-Socket Support the same on the EPYC 8324P and EPYC 8435P?
It is. Both are listed at Single Socket Only, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
