Reading guide

Read the performance results

The 2,417 CPU Mark is a broad overall-performance measure, while the 1,192 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 AM2+/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

Verify the system memory type, real power limits and cooling capacity.
