AMD EPYC 7302 vs AMD EPYC 7252: comparison
Comparison of AMD EPYC 7302 and AMD EPYC 7252: key differences and a full specification table.
Key differences
AMD EPYC 7302 has more cores (16 vs 8), more threads (32 vs 16), a higher maximum clock (3.3 GHz vs 3.2 GHz) and a larger L3 cache (128 MB vs 64 MB).
At the same time, AMD EPYC 7252 has a higher base clock (3.1 GHz vs 3 GHz) and a lower TDP (120 W vs 155 W).
Both processors match on: 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.
