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And no, this isn't for OSX some people assume, I just need something faster as my PC is already out of date.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! ;)

    • I enjoy using Discover Weekly. I have found new music using it. Just sometimes it goes off the rails and doesn't remember I don't like rap. I'm not sure this update is anything helpful, but I guess I'll try it if it comes to free accounts.
    • Yep, I got 250 mbps down / 50 mbps up on Qatar last week and about a 30 ms ping.
    • Here are all the new features added to Microsoft 365 Copilot in June 2025 by Usama Jawad Towards the end of each month, Microsoft publishes a roundup of the features that it added to some of its popular software in the previous four weeks. We have already talked about the new capabilities introduced in Excel and Teams during the month of June 2025, and now, it's time to talk about Microsoft 365 Copilot. We'll start off with admin-facing capabilities since there are only a few of them. For starters, the usage metrics for Copilot in the Copilot Analytics tool now have new prompt categories that give more insights as to how users are engaging with Copilot. This feature has just begun rolling out, but another enhancement to the usage metrics that is already available is dedicated statistics for intelligent meeting recaps. Finally, Microsoft 365 admins can now view and manage their inventory of agents and connectors and also have more granular control over costs and billing policies. On the user side of things, we have intelligent assistance in Copilot Chat, powered by ContextIQ. This layer of intelligence can scope prompts to internal (SharePoint, OneDrive) and external data sources, find files in the chat, and proactively offer relevant suggestions as you type. In the same vein, the Copilot mobile app is being updated so you can talk to the AI in a natural manner using your voice. In addition, users can also get access to deep reasoning agents such as Researcher and Analyst for more complex and research-oriented needs. The Create experience in the app is also being updated with the ability to generate stories and branded templates. Other interesting Copilot capabilities rolling out to Edge customers are the ability to prompt the AI through the search bar, access agents from within the browser, and take advantage of Copilot's impressive text summarization capabilities. That's not all though, other features in tow include: Enhancements to Copilot in Outlook: Schedule meetings through Copilot chat, summarization of email attachments, a new sidebar experience in the classic Outlook app, meeting preparation, and automated meeting invite creation Improved image generation and large file handling in Copilot Chat: More photorealistic image generation with better text depiction, ability to generate longer summaries from bigger files, and PDF scanning capabilities for insights Memory in Copilot: Copilot will now remember certain items from your conversation and you can modify or delete them Transferred calls summary with Copilot in Teams Phone: Generate a summary of a call and transfer it to a target New file extension for Copilot Pages: Copilot Pages will now have .page extension with an updated file icon Copilot Notebooks availability in OneNote: We already covered this in detail here Seamlessly add brand-approved images with Copilot in PowerPoint: Integration of Copilot with SharePoint Organization Asset Library (OAL) and Templafy asset libraries Explain formulas on the grid with Copilot in Excel: Self-explanatory, exactly what it says on the tin Expanded availability for the Microsoft 365 Copilot app: Availability of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Mac You can read more details about each of the aforementioned features here.
    • Damn, I blocked OldGuru a long time ago and you have to go and quote them so I have to read that creepy a$$ take. LOL Anyway 100% that dude can't find women that will have sex with him.
    • OneNote for Windows gets support for Dynamic DPI by Usama Jawad OneNote for Windows (part of Microsoft 365) is a pretty useful app if you're actively engaged in note-taking activities and also appreciate some rich text formatting capabilities. In fact, it also offers some decent integrations with Copilot, which make it an important piece of software in productivity-based environments. Now, Microsoft has introduced a feature that will likely make people with multi-monitor setups very happy. The OneNote for Windows application now supports Dynamic DPI (dots per inch). What this means is that you can use OneNote across any screen and it will scale according to the display's resolution, and you won't get a disconcerting and distracting blurring effect. You can extend your display to a high-resolution monitor and shift OneNote across displays without a hitch or any distraction. This is similar to the UX that is already present in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This Dynamic DPI support not only extends to the main text area but also to the section tabs, the Notebooks pane, drop-down menus, and Copilot Notebooks. All of these should look crisp and polished moving forward, without any manual adjustment or even an app restart required from the user's side. Microsoft has highlighted that it was encouraged to work on this capability after receiving user feedback from customers in this area. Dynamic DPI is now available to Current Channel (CC) customers on OneNote for Windows, running Version 2504 (Build 16.0.18827.20042) or later. That's not all, though. Another smaller enhancement present in OneNote moving forward is a revamped setup experience when you launch OneNote on a new Windows device for the first time. You will now receive a list of your five most recently used (MRU) notebooks that will open instantaneusly with a click. If you have more than five notebooks, you can pick and choose the files that you want to open. That said, Microsoft is looking to expand and improve on this experience in the future since it is fairly limited right now.
