Overview
SummaryThe AMD Opteron 250 is a server processor with 1 cores and 1 threads. It uses the 940 socket.
Performance
4 metricsThe AMD Opteron 250 scores 422 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 386 for engineering performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 422 per core and 422 per thread. Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the AMD Opteron 250.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Core Configuration
6 specsThe AMD Opteron 250 has 1 physical core and runs 1 logical thread. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.40 GHz.
Architecture & Generation
3 specsThe AMD Opteron 250 is a server processor and belongs to the AMD Opteron family.
Cache
5 specsThe AMD Opteron 250 has 128 KB of L1 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 1.1 MB of cache, or 1.13 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.
Cache Hierarchy
2 levelsThe AMD Opteron 250 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 128 KB and L2 at 1 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 89% of the cache listed here.
Platform & Compatibility
1 specThe AMD Opteron 250 uses the 940 socket.

Instruction Sets
4 supportedSecurity and Reliability
0 supportedVirtualization
0 supportedThe AMD Opteron 250 supports 64-bit (x86-64), SSE, SSE2 and MMX among its instruction set features. Feex has no record for AES-NI, AVX-512, AVX2, AVX, AVX-VNNI and CET, which is different from being unsupported.
Feex has no record for AMD SEV, AMD SME, Control-flow Enforcement (CET), Execute Disable (NX), Memory Encryption and SMAP, which is different from being unsupported.
Feex has no record for AMD SVM, AMD-V (Hardware Virtualization), NPT / RVI, IOMMU and Second-Level Address Translation, which is different from being unsupported.
