Choosing a 64-bit AMD cpu with SSE3 support


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

Recently, I've been having trouble looking for any AMD cpu socket 939 with SSE3 support, I tried searching this on google and also tigerdirect, which tigerdirect doesn't seem to give that kind of info.

And no, this isn't for OSX some people assume, I just need something faster as my PC is already out of date. I've got the mainboard/motherboard/mobo part covered, just need to know which AMD cpu has SSE3 support, it can be from an AMD Athlon 64, and AMD Athlon 64 FX to a AMD Athlon 64 FX-2 cpu, but I'm also on a tight budget, I'm willing to spend anywhere from $300.00 and below for the AMD cpu alone.

So which AMD socket 939 cpu should I go for?

Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it! ;)

I just got a 3200 Venice core, and have it OC'ed to the same speed as the 3500 on stock cooling and it runs great and very cool. For the price the 3200 is great.

All of the following AMD processors support the SSE3 and the AMD64 x86-64 instruction sets:

AMD Sempron | "E6" Revision on "Palermo" Core | Socket 754

AMD Athlon 64 | "E3" Revision on "Venice" Core | Socket 939

AMD Athlon 64 | "E6" Revision on "Venice" Core | Socket 939

AMD Athlon 64 | "E4" Revision on "San Diego" Core | Socket 939

AMD Athlon 64 FX | "E4" Revision on "San Diego" Core | Socket 939

AMD Athlon 64 X2 | "E4" Revison on "Manchester" Core | Socket 939

AMD Athlon 64 X2 | "E6" Revision on "Toledo" Core | Socket 939

AMD Opteron 100-series | "E4" Revison on "San Diego" Core | Socket 939

AMD Opteron 100-series | "E6" Revision on "Toledo" Core | Socket 939

So, in other words, look for Athlon 64 processors labeled as "Revision E" or something similar to that. Also, all Athlon 64 X2 and all Opteron 100-series processors (on Socket 939) contain the SSE3 instruction set.

Thankyou for the list of processors that support it, the AMD Athlon +3200 Venice core cpu is just within my budget range too, around $152 at www.newegg.com website. :D

Thanks to all that have helped here in this thread, this is "just what I needed". :yes:

Thanks again everyone! ;)

    • AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD's driver team is busy this June. The company just released its third graphics driver of the month, and this one is focused on expanding support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech. A handful of bug fixes are included in this release, too. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional driver is finally bringing FSR 4 support for Monster Hunter: Wilds, the Capcom-developed action RPG that released earlier this year. The title is well known for its performance issues, so the FSR update should help RX 9000 series owners get more frames without losing too much graphics fidelity. Next, the driver also delivers FSR 4 for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The expanded and enhanced version of the title featuring ray tracing and other features only hit the PC platform a few months ago, and now, latest-generation Radeon graphics users can use the upscaling tech to improve their frame rates. AMD has also fixed an issue with FSR 4 in this release that made the technology not enable properly on a bunch of games. They include DragonKin: The Banished, Blades of Fire, RoadCraft, The Alters, Star Wars Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A Black Myth: WuKong crash on the RX 7650 GRE GPU and a The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered texture corruption issue on the RX 9070 XT have also been resolved in this release. Here are the known issues that AMD is still working on: Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crashes may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series and Radeon™ RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower-than-expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.
    • So, basically, Windows 11 is the 'new Windows 7 'cause everyone's ignoring it? Guess my Windows 10 machine and I will just live happily ever after in our secure, familiar bubble... until four months from now. Then we'll figure it out. Probably.
    • Are you sure you are not mis-understanding a use case for Windows 11 where it fails? Your experience does not negate another user's dislike of something. I.E. don't be dismissive just because you haven't experienced something they have. That makes you look bad.
    • How about linking network storage and or external storage and then Explorer becomes a game of waiting and waiting and waiting. Windows 10 was not nearly this bad at that task.
