I'm trying to figure out which EPYC Rome CPU to get for my new build. This is going to be running Proxmox with Truenas virtualized. It will also been running Emby, Home Assistant, a few VMs for docker, frigate. Nothing crazy. Single threaded performance isn't a huge deal. I'm mostly upgrading for bandwidth, the need for PCIe lanes, and the fact my current TrueNAS build just turned 10 and is due for replacement.

I can get these various versions for about the same price +- 15$ except the 7R32 is about $100 more expensive. Any of them would be more than enough, but considering they're all comparably priced I'm having trouble figuring out which one would be the best performance per dollar.

7402, 7452, 7502, 7532, 7R32

The only benchmarks I could find for most of these have only been from cpubenchmark with low sample size. Anyone have any opinions of these options?

Samba prefers clock speeds over more threads.

Emby will do more with a cheap nvidia card with Nvenc than even a high power CPU.

HA isn't going to need anything.

So I say get whatever has highest clocks of the options.
