AMD® Sempron™ X2 198

The AMD Sempron X2 198 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 2 threads (32 nm process). It launched in 2012. It supports DDR3 memory. It uses the FM1 socket. Rated TDP is 65 W.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 scores 1,070 in single-core performance and 930 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 998 for overall performance, 2,103 for productivity performance, 2,438 for creator performance, 866 for engineering performance and 3,443 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 465 per core, 465 per thread and 14 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 124. Its performance index is 12, so its overall performance is 88% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). 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 Sempron X2 198.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. 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 2.50 GHz.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 is a desktop processor, belongs to the AMD Sempron family and is manufactured on a 32 nm process. It launched in 2012.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 has 256 KB of L1 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 1.3 MB of cache, or 0.63 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB and L2 at 1 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 80% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 supports DDR3 memory and runs memory at up to 1,866 MT/s. It does not support DDR5, DDR4 and LPDDR memory.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 uses the FM1 socket.

The AMD Sempron X2 198 has a rated TDP of 65 W.
