AMD EPYC 9135 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 9755: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 9135 and EPYC Embedded 9755?
On l3 cache the spread is 75%, EPYC 9135 128 MB against EPYC Embedded 9755 512 MB, so EPYC Embedded 9755 takes it. There is a split on boost clock as well, 4.3 GHz on the EPYC 9135 versus 4.1 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9755. There is a split on tdp as well, 200 W on the EPYC 9135 versus 500 W on the EPYC Embedded 9755. Core count is not the same on both, 16 cores on the EPYC 9135 versus 128 cores on the EPYC Embedded 9755. Thread count is not the same on both, 32 threads on the EPYC 9135 versus 256 threads on the EPYC Embedded 9755. They differ on core architecture too, Zen 5 "Turin" on the EPYC 9135 versus Zen 5 on the EPYC Embedded 9755. They differ on base clock too, 3.65 GHz on the EPYC 9135 versus 2.7 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9755. There is a split on multi-socket support as well, 1P/2P on the EPYC 9135 versus Dual Socket on the EPYC Embedded 9755.
Which should you buy, EPYC 9135 or EPYC Embedded 9755?
Buy the EPYC 9135 for latency-sensitive web and application tiers and smaller database servers, though it is the wrong buy for maximum core density workloads and power-constrained edge deployments. The EPYC Embedded 9755 is the one to take for industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is not built for consumer desktop or gaming builds and DIY PC upgrades. Our rating of the EPYC 9135 (8.6/10): the EPYC 9135 is the pick within AMD's entry EPYC tier when per-thread speed matters more than shaving off every extra watt.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Memory channels, socket and ecc support read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
