AMD EPYC 9184X vs AMD EPYC Embedded 9745: Comparison
EPYC 9184X vs EPYC Embedded 9745: the l3 cache difference
Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: EPYC 9184X 768 MB against EPYC Embedded 9745 256 MB, 67% in favour of EPYC 9184X. They differ on boost clock too, 4.2 GHz on the EPYC 9184X versus 3.7 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9745. Tdp is not the same on both, 250 W on the EPYC 9184X versus 400 W on the EPYC Embedded 9745. There is a split on core count as well, 16 cores on the EPYC 9184X versus 128 cores on the EPYC Embedded 9745. Thread count is not the same on both, 32 threads on the EPYC 9184X versus 256 threads on the EPYC Embedded 9745. There is a split on core architecture as well, Zen 4 "Genoa" on the EPYC 9184X versus Zen 5c on the EPYC Embedded 9745. They differ on base clock too, 3.55 GHz on the EPYC 9184X versus 2.4 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9745. Multi-socket support is not the same on both, 1P/2P on the EPYC 9184X versus Dual Socket on the EPYC Embedded 9745.
Who each one is for
The EPYC 9184X suits EDA and chip design workloads and technical computing with large working sets, though it is the wrong buy for general-purpose virtualization and budget-conscious deployments. The EPYC Embedded 9745 is the one to take for industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is not the pick for consumer desktop or gaming builds and DIY PC upgrades. Our rating of the EPYC 9184X (9/10): the EPYC 9184X is a specialist chip: exceptional for cache-bound EDA and technical computing, overkill for anything else.
What EPYC 9184X and EPYC Embedded 9745 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: memory channels, socket and ecc support are identical here.
