Differences
Reasons to consider the AMD EPYC Embedded 3251
- CPU is newer: launch date 5 year(s) 9 month(s) later
- Processor is unlocked, an unlocked multiplier allows for easier overclocking
- A newer manufacturing process allows for a more powerful, yet cooler running processor: 14 nm vs 32 nm
- Around 50% more L1 cache; more data can be stored in the L1 cache for quick access later
- 2x more L2 cache, more data can be stored in the L2 cache for quick access later
- Around 33% higher maximum memory size: 512 GB vs 384 GB
- 2.3x lower typical power consumption: 50 Watt vs 115 Watt
- Around 31% better performance in PassMark - Single thread mark: 1881 vs 1439
