AMD EPYC 4564P vs AMD EPYC 7513 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data sets up a clear split between these two AMD EPYC processors. The AMD EPYC 4564P wins 10 of the 17 recorded comparisons, while the AMD EPYC 7513 takes 7. But the margins tell a more nuanced story than the raw win count.

The 4564P dominates in the Cinebench suite. Across all six Cinebench tests, it holds a consistent 9.3% to 9.4% advantage. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the 4564P scores 55,592 against the 7513's 50,431, a 9.3% lead. Single-core results follow the same pattern: R23 single-core shows 7,848 versus 7,119, again a 9.3% gap. The R15 and R20 runs mirror this exactly, with deltas of 9.3% or 9.4% in every case.

The single-threaded PassMark tests reveal the biggest disparity. The 4564P posts 4,292 in PassMark single-thread, while the 7513 manages only 2,479. That is a 42.2% deficit for the older chip, the largest margin in either direction across the entire benchmark set. This is not a small gap; it reflects a fundamental difference in per-core capability.

However, the 7513 fights back hard in several specialized workloads. Its most decisive victory comes in PassMark physics, where it scores 5,118 against the 4564P's 3,392, a 50.9% advantage. That is the single biggest win for either processor. Data encryption also goes strongly to the 7513: 63,628 versus 50,708, a 25.5% lead. Integer math shows a 19% edge for the 7513 (272,145 vs 228,761), and floating-point math adds a 7.6% win (151,713 vs 141,017). Data compression favors the 7513 by 8.6% (932,240 vs 858,105), and it also edges out the 4564P in prime number finding (4.1% at 380 vs 365) and random string sorting (1.4% at 104,660 vs 103,202).

Not every multi-threaded test goes to the 7513. The PassMark multi-thread score belongs to the 4564P: 64,357 versus 59,331, a 7.8% win. Extended instructions also favor the 4564P by 10.6% (63,136 vs 56,451).

The average benchmark scores place the 7513 at 102,244 and the 4564P at 95,183. The 7513 sits at the 97th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the 4564P ranks at the 96th percentile. The 7513's nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 8324P (1.1% higher average), the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX (1.2% lower), and the AMD EPYC 4585PX (2.9% lower). The 4564P's closest competitors are the AMD EPYC 9175F (0.5% higher average), the AMD EPYC 4565P (0.6% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 9945 (0.9% higher).

The Verdict

The data points to two different workloads. The AMD EPYC 4564P is the pick for single-threaded and lightly threaded tasks. Its 42.2% single-thread lead in PassMark and consistent 9.3% Cinebench advantage across the board make it the obvious choice for databases, application serving, and any workload that cannot fully utilize 32 cores.

The AMD EPYC 7513 is the choice for heavy parallel compute. Its 50.9% physics win, 25.5% encryption lead, and 19% integer math advantage show that it excels when the workload scales across many cores. The 7513's 32 cores and 64 threads provide the throughput that the 16-core, 32-thread 4564P cannot match in these specific tests.

For mixed workloads, the 4564P's PassMark multi-thread win (7.8%) is notable, as it shows that the newer architecture can hold its own even in some multi-threaded scenarios. But the 7513 still wins the specialized compute tests by larger margins.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification. The 7513 has 32 cores and 64 threads, while the 4564P has 16 cores and 32 threads. The 4564P runs at a much higher clock speed: 4.50 GHz base and 5.70 GHz boost, compared to 2.60 GHz base and 3.65 GHz boost for the 7513.

Thermal design power differs as well. The 7513 has a 200 W TDP, while the 4564P is rated at 170 W. The sockets are completely different: the 7513 uses AMD Socket SP3, while the 4564P uses AMD Socket AM5.

Memory support diverges sharply. The 7513 uses DDR4 with an eight-channel memory bus and 204.8 GB/s bandwidth. The 4564P uses DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The 7513 offers Gen 4 with 128 lanes from the CPU, while the 4564P offers Gen 5 with 28 lanes from the CPU. The 4564P includes integrated Radeon Graphics, while the 7513 has no integrated graphics. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The launch MSRP for the 7513 is $2840, while the 4564P has a launch MSRP of $699.

Architecture Differences

The architecture gap is substantial. The 7513 uses Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm process, with the codename Milan. The 4564P uses Zen 4 architecture on a 5 nm process, with the codename Raphael. Both are built by TSMC, but the transistor counts differ enormously: the 7513 has 33,200 million transistors across 8 dies of 81 mm² each, while the 4564P has 13,140 million transistors across 2 dies of 71 mm² each.

Cache configurations diverge as well. Both have 64 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache is 512 KB per core on the 7513, while the 4564P has 1 MB per core. The L3 cache is 128 MB shared on the 7513, compared to 64 MB shared on the 4564P.

The 4564P's higher clock speeds and newer Zen 4 architecture explain its single-thread dominance. The 7513's larger core count and bigger L3 cache explain its wins in physics, encryption, and integer math. The 7513 also belongs to a different generation: EPYC Zen 3 Milan, while the 4564P is EPYC Zen 4 Raphael.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD EPYC 7513 wins in compute-heavy parallel workloads. Its 50.9% physics advantage and 25.5% encryption lead point to scientific computing, simulation, and cryptography tasks. The 19% integer math win and 8.6% data compression edge make it suitable for data processing and compression workloads. The 7.6% floating-point advantage supports technical computing applications. The 7513's 32 cores, 64 threads, and 128 MB of shared L3 cache are the resources behind these wins.

The AMD EPYC 4564P wins in latency-sensitive and single-threaded tasks. Its 42.2% PassMark single-thread lead and 10.6% extended instructions advantage make it the better fit for database query processing, web serving, and application logic. The 9.3% Cinebench wins across all versions indicate better overall responsiveness in both single and multi-threaded rendering. The 7.8% PassMark multi-thread win shows that for many real-world multi-threaded workloads, the newer architecture and higher clocks overcome the core count disadvantage.

The 4564P also offers newer platform features: DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5, and integrated graphics. The 7513 counters with eight-channel memory bandwidth (204.8 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s) and far more PCIe lanes (128 versus 28), which matter for storage-heavy servers and multi-GPU configurations.

For a single-socket server handling varied workloads, the 4564P is the more flexible choice. For dedicated compute nodes running parallel algorithms, the 7513's specialized strengths make it the better option. The data does not support one universal winner; it supports picking the right tool for the specific workload.
