AMD EPYC Embedded 7302 vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7443: Comparison

What is the difference between EPYC Embedded 7302 and EPYC Embedded 7443?

Boost clock is the dividing line, EPYC Embedded 7302 3.3 GHz against EPYC Embedded 7443 4 GHz. They differ on tdp too, 155 W on the EPYC Embedded 7302 versus 200 W on the EPYC Embedded 7443. They differ on core count too, 16 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7302 versus 24 cores on the EPYC Embedded 7443. Thread count is not the same on both, 32 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7302 versus 48 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7443. They differ on core architecture too, Zen 2 on the EPYC Embedded 7302 versus Zen 3 on the EPYC Embedded 7443. Base clock is not the same on both, 3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7302 versus 2.85 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7443. Usb is not the same on both, 4x USB 3.1 Gen1 on the EPYC Embedded 7302 versus 4x USB 3.0 Gen1 on the EPYC Embedded 7443.

Which should you buy, EPYC Embedded 7302 or EPYC Embedded 7443?

Buy the EPYC Embedded 7302 for 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. The EPYC Embedded 7443 suits 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.

What EPYC Embedded 7302 and EPYC Embedded 7443 have in common

Everything else lines up. L3 cache, pcie lanes, socket, memory type and security processor read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 3 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Memory Controller the same on the EPYC Embedded 7302 and EPYC Embedded 7443?

It is. Both are listed at 8 Channel w/ECC, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.

    Which one should you pick?

    Choose 7302 if you want the higher L3 cache (128 MB vs 128 MB), the higher PCIe lanes (128 lanes vs 128 lanes) and the higher SATA (32 vs 32).

    Choose 7443 if you already have it on hand or find it at a lower price.
