AMD EPYC 7601 vs AMD EPYC 7501: comparison

Comparison of AMD EPYC 7601 and AMD EPYC 7501: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

AMD EPYC 7601 has a higher base clock (2.2 GHz vs 2 GHz) and a higher maximum clock (3.2 GHz vs 3 GHz).

At the same time, AMD EPYC 7501 has a lower TDP (155–170 W vs 180 W).

Both processors match on: core count (32), thread count (64), L3 cache (64 MB), 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.
