Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 2,074 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure. 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 F(1207). 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 105 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 2386 SE specifications?

The main recorded details are 4 cores and 4 threads, a 105 W reference TDP, a 2,074 CPU Mark. The tables on this page show socket, memory, cache and graphics data when available.

Is the AMD Opteron 2386 SE good for gaming?
