PostPosted: Thu Sep 28, 2006 3:55 pm    Post subject: exact processor type Reply with quote

Hi,
I have an Athlon64 3000+ and would like to know how I could find out the exact processor type: Venice, San diego,......
This is the /proc/cpuinfo
Code:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 15
model           : 47
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
stepping        : 0
cpu MHz         : 1800.000
cache size      : 512 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm ts fid vid ttp tm stc
bogomips        : 3622.59

What I want to find out is if I have the sse3 instructions. I see the pni flag, is that what I am looking for ?
Is there a program that takes the cpuinfo info and gives the processor type ?

Thanks in advance

yes, the pni flag is what you are looking for.

You can now add the following use flags:

USE="sse sse2 sse3 3dnow 3dnowext mmx mmxext"

have fun

for future reference a quick google search found this

Someone looking for a similar answer, explains a bit of the model number

This one explains the part numbers to find revisions

And this one is a utility to find our model

Thanks for your answers.

My problem is I do not have the part number and can not turn off my computer to lift the cooler and I did not want to use a windows program

I have read the links to the amd forum but can not find a way of stablishing a relationship betwen Family, model and steping numbers and models. The people at the amd forum seem to have information about this but only give examples but no general rule.
Now I know I have a F-2F-0 CPU but I am stuck here

That is a venice core. You can tell because it is a single-core, 512kb L2, SSE3 part. The only san diego's were the 3700+, FX-57, and some FX-55's. Also, san diego has 1024kb of L2 cache.
