FX-57 vs 150 specifications comparison

The graphs below compare the most important FX-57 and AMD 150 characteristics. These features, as well as an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a CPU performs. Darker area on the "On-chip cache" graph is for the On-chip L1 cache. Lighter area is for the L2 cache cache. While the L2 cache cache is usually larger than the On-chip L1 cache, it is always slower.

The table below compares support for x86 extensions and technologies, as well as individual instructions and low-level features of the AMD Athlon 64 FX FX-57 and AMD Sempron 150 microprocessors. Information in this table was retrieved from actual processors using CPUID instruction, and we also utilized internal timer to measure CPU frequency. Be aware that all technologies, disabled in BIOS or by a virtual machine, will be shown as not supported. In rare cases, measured frequency may differ from official specifications.
