AMD EPYC 7501 vs AMD EPYC 7301: comparison

Comparison of AMD EPYC 7501 and AMD EPYC 7301: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

AMD EPYC 7501 has more cores (32 vs 16), more threads (64 vs 32) and a higher maximum clock (3 GHz vs 2.7 GHz).

At the same time, AMD EPYC 7301 has a higher base clock (2.2 GHz vs 2 GHz).

Both processors match on: L3 cache (64 MB), TDP (155–170 W), memory channels (8), PCIe version (3).

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.
