Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 1,797 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 1,011 single-thread result adds context for less-parallel work. Compare the nearby alternatives on this page and do not treat one score as a verdict for every application.

Platform and compatibility

It uses socket AM3. A matching socket is only the first check; confirm the official motherboard CPU-support list, BIOS revision and board power limits.

Memory and power

The 75 W TDP helps size the cooling class, but it is not the same as peak wall-power consumption.

FAQ

Common processor questions

What are the key AMD Opteron 1381 specifications?

The main recorded details are 4 cores and 4 threads, a 75 W reference TDP, a 1,797 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.

Is the AMD Opteron 1381 good for gaming?
