AMD Processor Query

Jimmy89
Hi,
The computer that i purchased almost a year ago has an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. Can someone tell me whether this processor is 64bit or not. I know that it is definitely not a dual core but im not as sure about the 64bit.

I have used CPU-Z to get some info about my system and its reports that the processor instructions are x86-64! does that mean 64bit? The other info that CPU-Z gave to me about my processor are below.

Family: F
Ext. Family: F
Model: C
Ext Model: 1C
Stepping: 0
Revision: DH8-D0

Code Name Palermo

- Palermo (90 nm SOI)
- Early models (stepping D0) are downlabeled "Oakville" mobile Athlon64
- L1-Cache: 64 + 64 KiB (Data + Instructions)
- L2-Cache: 128/256 KiB, fullspeed
- MMX, 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2
- SSE3 support on E3 and E6 steppings
- AMD64 on E6 stepping
- Cool'n'Quiet (Sempron 3000+ and higher)
- Enhanced Virus Protection (NX bit)
- Integrated DDR memory controller
- Socket 754, 800 MHz HyperTransport
- VCore: 1.4 V
- First release: February 2005
- Clockrate: 1400 - 2000 MHz
- 128 KiB L2-Cache (Sempron 2600+, 3000+, 3300+)
- 256 KiB L2-Cache (Sempron 2500+, 2800+, 3100+, 3400+)
- Steppings: D0 (Part No.: *BA), E3 (Part No.: *BO), E6 (Part No.: *BX)


Don't know if this I usefull for you but I guess your CPU is able to run 64bit OS and such. Though you said your stepping is '0' (zero) which would be 'D0'. Which isn't E6 stepping so I can't say it with full confidence wink.gif
Perhaps you could contact AMD themself about this? Or someone else has this CPU here on Astahost...

well... i don't think it can natively run 64 bit software...
i suggest everybody to check out the specifications from www.amd.com always check out the site of your hardware producer, they can tell you more than anyone..
good luck

Most likely it is since it matches the core's codename. I don't remember AMD producing 2 versions of their processors under the same codename.

This page has a list of all the AMD Sempron 2800+ models. http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/Default.aspx Down at the bottom, it lists 5 different models. If you can match the model number (OPN PIB) to one of those five, you can check if it has 64bit support by clicking the view details link and looking for 32/64 under Operating Mode. If it has the /64 then it has 64bit support, otherwise it is only 32bit.

how do i find the Model Number (OPN PIB) for my processor. Would i be written on any documentation or would it actually by on the processor itself?

OPN is etched on the core or on the IHS.
same info about AMD cores @ wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_S...microprocessors

Check out this website: http://www.ultimatehardware.net/166.htm and scroll down for the CPU-z screenshot. That's a 64bit CPU: look at the instructions list, at the end there's x86-64, that means it's a 64bit capable cpu.

  1. Is The Processor Everything / Good For Gaming ? - Is it the best thing for gaming? (14)
    Hi, i've got a dell dimension 3000 computer. I wanted to upgrade the motherboard so it could fit
    a PCI-e graphics card. Unfortunatly, i found that the dimension 3000 doesn't take well to be
    fitted with another motherboard. Im running with a Geforce FX 5200 128MB graphics card, and wonder
    if i shouldn't just upgrade the CPU from a celeron D 2.53 Ghz to a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz HT. Is the
    Geforce FX not good enough for gaming, or will it be ok and i can then just upgrade my cpu?

  9. Cooling the Processor - (17)
    The last thread i had posted was about the underclocking the processor, as said by Cloak it can be

    using the HARDWARE cooling devices.. most of them are like, programs which claim can cool the
    processor. What do you think, do they really work? Can they screw up something ? Some say that
    those are not recommended? I have heard of Waterfall. It is also a small program which can co...
