FX-74 vs 715 specifications comparison

The graphs below compare the most important characteristics of the Pentium M 715 and FX-74 processors. These features, along with an IPC (instructions per cycle) number, determine how well a processor 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.

CPUIDs

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-74 and Intel Pentium M 715 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. Different steppings of Intel processors may also have slightly different features. In rare cases, measured frequency may differ from official specifications.
