AMD EPYC 7552 vs AMD EPYC 7502: comparison

Comparison of AMD EPYC 7552 and AMD EPYC 7502: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

AMD EPYC 7552 has more cores (48 vs 32), more threads (96 vs 64) and a larger L3 cache (192 MB vs 128 MB).

At the same time, AMD EPYC 7502 has a higher base clock (2.5 GHz vs 2.2 GHz), a higher maximum clock (3.35 GHz vs 3.3 GHz) and a lower TDP (180 W vs 200 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.
