AMD EPYC 9454P vs AMD EPYC Embedded 9745: Comparison
EPYC 9454P vs EPYC Embedded 9745: the boost clock difference
They are built to different briefs, and boost clock shows it, EPYC 9454P 3.8 GHz against EPYC Embedded 9745 3.7 GHz. They differ on tdp too, 290 W on the EPYC 9454P versus 400 W on the EPYC Embedded 9745. They differ on core count too, 48 cores on the EPYC 9454P versus 128 cores on the EPYC Embedded 9745. Thread count is not the same on both, 96 threads on the EPYC 9454P versus 256 threads on the EPYC Embedded 9745. Core architecture is not the same on both, Zen 4 "Genoa" on the EPYC 9454P versus Zen 5c on the EPYC Embedded 9745. There is a split on base clock as well, 2.75 GHz on the EPYC 9454P versus 2.4 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 9745. There is a split on multi-socket support as well, 1P on the EPYC 9454P versus Dual Socket on the EPYC Embedded 9745.
Who each one is for
Buy the EPYC 9454P for virtualization hosts and database servers, though it is not the pick for cost-sensitive small deployments and single-threaded legacy applications. The EPYC Embedded 9745 suits 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 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 9745 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: l3 cache, memory channels, socket and ecc support are identical here.
