AMD EPYC Embedded 755P vs AMD EPYC Embedded 7643: Comparison

What is the difference between EPYC Embedded 755P and EPYC Embedded 7643?

On l3 cache the spread is 75%, EPYC Embedded 755P 64 MB against EPYC Embedded 7643 256 MB, so EPYC Embedded 7643 takes it. There is a split on thread count as well, 64 threads on the EPYC Embedded 755P versus 96 threads on the EPYC Embedded 7643. Core architecture is not the same on both, Zen on the EPYC Embedded 755P versus Zen 3 on the EPYC Embedded 7643. Base clock is not the same on both, 2 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 755P versus 2.3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7643. They differ on memory type too, DDR4-2667 on the EPYC Embedded 755P versus DDR4-3200 on the EPYC Embedded 7643. There is a split on usb as well, 4x USB 3.1 Gen1 on the EPYC Embedded 755P versus 4x USB 3.0 Gen1 on the EPYC Embedded 7643.

EPYC Embedded 755P vs EPYC Embedded 7643: which one fits your build

Buy the EPYC Embedded 755P 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 7643 is the one to take for 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.

Where the two are identical

Where they agree, they agree completely, pcie lanes, socket, security processor, memory controller and sata included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 1 further specification as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the EPYC Embedded 755P and EPYC Embedded 7643 differ on boost clock?

Yes. Boost Clock reads 3 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 755P versus 3.6 GHz on the EPYC Embedded 7643.

Is the Low Speed Interfaces the same on the EPYC Embedded 755P and EPYC Embedded 7643?

It is. Both are listed at GPIO , I2C , LPC , SMBus , SPI..., so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
