AMD EPYC 9454P vs AMD EPYC Embedded 9455P: Comparison
What is the difference between EPYC 9454P and EPYC Embedded 9455P?
The first real difference is boost clock: EPYC 9454P 3.8 GHz against EPYC Embedded 9455P 4.4 GHz. Tdp is not the same on both, 290 W on the EPYC 9454P versus 300 W on the EPYC Embedded 9455P. Core architecture is not the same on both, Zen 4 "Genoa" on the EPYC 9454P versus Zen 5 on the EPYC Embedded 9455P. There is a split on base clock as well, 2.75 GHz on the EPYC 9454P versus 3.15 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9455P.
Who each one is for
The EPYC 9454P is the one to take for virtualization hosts and database servers, though it is the wrong buy for cost-sensitive small deployments and single-threaded legacy applications. Buy the EPYC Embedded 9455P 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 9454P (8.8/10): the EPYC 9454P is a well-rounded high-core-count EPYC SKU that balances density, clocks, and power draw for mainstream data center use.
What EPYC 9454P and EPYC Embedded 9455P have in common
Everything else lines up. L3 cache, core count, thread count and socket read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing.
