How do these 2 stack? If a cantrip does half damage because of a successful save is the empowered evocations bonus factored in and then the damage halved or is the roller damage halved then the empowered evocation damage bonus factored in?
DUDE! read the PHB before you comment! With the 6th level evocation subclass ability, save based cantrips do half damage on a successful save.
Potent Cantrip
Starting at 6th level, your damaging cantrips affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against your cantrip, the creature takes half the cantrip’s damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip.

Potent Cantrips is usually the same as Empowered Evocation. I've memorized enough of the rules that I'm right more than 50% of the time. This hostility is unnecessary. But you add your intelligence modifier to the damage, which makes the damage equal to spell dice+intelligence modifier. You half the damage, which includes the ability score modifier.
The same way it works for all other damage in the game - you add up the total amount of damage to find out how much damage the damage source deals, then if the target has a way to reduce that, they reduce it. Even without Potent Cantrip, the answer would be the same if your target has resistance.
In this case, the cantrip deals [original damage + int modifier] damage, and on a successful save, the target halves that, taking [original damage + int modifier]/2 damage.
Note also that empowered evocation was nerfed via errata, so if the cantrip produces multiple damage rolls - such as Eldritch Blast - you can only apply your int modifier to one of them.
The necessity of the hostility was debatable. You were wrong, then wrong again, then wrong a third time -- which is quite frustrating. You could have just googled it.

Cantrips don't do half damage on a successful save.
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)
level 6 evocation wizard ability, potent cantrip... yes they do
Cantrips with saves do no damage on a success. Look at poison spray.
