AMD EPYC 7282 vs AMD EPYC 7252: comparison

Comparison of AMD EPYC 7282 and AMD EPYC 7252: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

AMD EPYC 7282 has more cores (16 vs 8) and more threads (32 vs 16).

At the same time, AMD EPYC 7252 has a higher base clock (3.1 GHz vs 2.8 GHz).

Both processors match on: maximum clock (3.2 GHz), L3 cache (64 MB), TDP (120 W), memory channels (8), PCIe version (4).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
