AMD EPYC 9355 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 9755: Comparison
EPYC 9355 vs EPYC Embedded 9755 l3 cache compared
On l3 cache the spread is 50%, EPYC 9355 256 MB against EPYC Embedded 9755 512 MB, so EPYC Embedded 9755 takes it. They differ on boost clock too, 4.4 GHz on the EPYC 9355 versus 4.1 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9755. They differ on tdp too, 280 W on the EPYC 9355 versus 500 W on the EPYC Embedded 9755. There is a split on core count as well, 32 cores on the EPYC 9355 versus 128 cores on the EPYC Embedded 9755. There is a split on thread count as well, 64 threads on the EPYC 9355 versus 256 threads on the EPYC Embedded 9755. Core architecture is not the same on both, Zen 5 "Turin" on the EPYC 9355 versus Zen 5 on the EPYC Embedded 9755. Base clock is not the same on both, 3.55 GHz on the EPYC 9355 versus 2.7 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9755. They differ on multi-socket support too, 1P/2P on the EPYC 9355 versus Dual Socket on the EPYC Embedded 9755.
Which should you buy, EPYC 9355 or EPYC Embedded 9755?
The EPYC 9355 is the one to take for small to mid-size server deployments and edge infrastructure, though it is not the pick for maximum core density workloads and large-scale hyperscale deployments. The EPYC Embedded 9755 suits industrial and embedded system designs and long-lifecycle networking and edge-compute deployments, though it is the wrong buy for consumer desktop or gaming builds and DIY PC upgrades. Our rating of the EPYC 9355 (8.4/10): the EPYC 9355 is a sensible entry point into the EPYC platform for smaller deployments that still want server-grade memory bandwidth and reliability.
Where the two are identical
The common ground is wider than the gap: memory channels, socket and ecc support are identical here.
