AMD EPYC 8325P vs AMD EPYC 8434P: Comparison
EPYC 8325P vs EPYC 8434P: the l3 cache difference
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, EPYC 8325P 256 MB against EPYC 8434P 128 MB, so EPYC 8325P takes it. The benchmark result agrees. SPECrate® 2017 Integer (base), 1-chip puts EPYC 8434P 1% ahead, 423 against 418. They differ on boost clock too, 4.5 GHz on the EPYC 8325P versus 3.1 GHz on the EPYC 8434P. They differ on tdp too, 175 W on the EPYC 8325P versus 200 W on the EPYC 8434P. There is a split on configurable tdp max as well, 155 W on the EPYC 8325P versus 155-225W on the EPYC 8434P. EPYC 8325P also leads on memory bandwidth, 307 GB/s on the EPYC 8325P versus 230.4 GB/s on the EPYC 8434P. There is a split on product family as well, EPYC 8005 Series on the EPYC 8325P versus EPYC 8004 Series on the EPYC 8434P. There is a split on release year as well, 2026 on the EPYC 8325P versus 2023 on the EPYC 8434P. Core count is not the same on both, 32 cores on the EPYC 8325P versus 48 cores on the EPYC 8434P. There is a split on thread count as well, 64 threads on the EPYC 8325P versus 96 threads on the EPYC 8434P.
Who each one is for
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. Buy the EPYC 8434P 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.
Where the two are identical
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 8325P and EPYC 8434P differ on core architecture?
Yes. Core Architecture reads Zen 5 on the EPYC 8325P versus Zen 4c on the EPYC 8434P.
Is the Multi-Socket Support the same on the EPYC 8325P and EPYC 8434P?
It is. Both are listed at Single Socket Only, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
