AMD Opteron 1354 (B3)

The AMD Opteron 1354 (B3) is a desktop-segment processor in the Opteron (Budapest) generation, using the K10 architecture with 4 cores and 4 threads. Its base clock is 2.20 GHz, and no boost clock is listed. The chip is built on a 65nm process, packs 463 million transistors into a 285 mm² die, and includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 2 MB of shared L3 cache. It was released June 2, 2008, and is now end-of-life. The database places it at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, but the average benchmark score is 0 and the benchmarks array is empty, meaning there are no measured performance results on file.

Who Should Consider It

The data identifies the Opteron 1354 (B3) as a desktop part, so the intended context is desktop platforms rather than dense servers or mobile systems. With four cores and four threads, the logical shape is a 4-thread machine. Workloads that use up to four concurrent threads are the natural fit; software that scales well beyond four threads will not find additional thread resources here. Office-style productivity, document work, spreadsheets, and general desktop multitasking are workload categories that align with this thread count, although the database provides no office-specific score to confirm that performance level. Creation tools that use multiple cores for rendering or encoding can also use a 4-core layout, but the empty benchmark list means there is no measured result showing how well this chip handles those tasks. Anyone considering it for creation work would have to accept that the data cannot quantify its performance.

Gaming is less clearly supported by the specifications. Integrated graphics are listed as "On certain motherboards (Chipset feature)," which places display capabilities on the motherboard or chipset rather than inside the processor itself. That arrangement means any gaming setup would need a separate graphics solution, whether through a chipset-provided output on a compatible board or a discrete add-in card. The socket and memory type also constrain the build: Socket AM2+ with DDR2 memory is a specific platform, so a gaming system would need to be built around those components. In the absence of benchmark scores, the only positional metric is the 50th percentile standing. That places the part at the midpoint of the database's CPU population, which is not a measured performance result but an aggregate ordering. Buyers looking for data-backed recommendations should note that the benchmark data for this entry is empty; it has a structural profile but no recorded measurements.

Power and Thermals

Thermal design is anchored by the 95W TDP class. That is the only power-related figure in the record, and it implies a cooling solution sized for a 95W envelope. The data does not include a specific cooler size, fan configuration, or measured temperature. The 65nm manufacturing process is the relevant silicon context, along with a die size of 285 mm² and 463 million transistors. These physical characteristics are useful for understanding thermal density, but the database does not include thermal testing. The absence of a boost clock is also notable: the clock speed is fixed at the 2.20 GHz base level, so there is no boost transient to factor into cooler selection. No other power management figures are listed, so a 95W-class cooling solution is the realistic takeaway. Because the part is end-of-life, the database does not indicate any ongoing thermal validation or revised cooling guidance.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals list for this record is empty. There are no rival names, no rival scores, and no delta percentages to work with. As a result, no direct comparison against any specific processor can be drawn from the available record. The only comparative metric is the 50th percentile vs all CPUs. That value suggests the processor sits at the median of the database population, but with no average benchmark score, the percentile is not tied to a measured performance magnitude. In practice, this means the data supports neither a claim that the Opteron 1354 (B3) outperforms a listed rival nor a claim that it trails one. The benchmarks array is empty, so there are no per-workload comparisons either. Any comparison statement would require the missing nearestRivals data. The honest summary is that this CPU has no documented rival positions in the database, and its only aggregate placement is a mid-pack 50th percentile marker.

Platform and Compatibility

The platform begins with Socket AM2+. Memory support is DDR2 on a dual-channel interface, with a listed peak bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported, so the memory configuration is non-ECC. PCIe support is Gen 2, which is the expansion standard available for graphics and add-in cards. Integrated graphics are not guaranteed on the CPU itself; the data lists them as a chipset feature on certain motherboards, so display output depends on the motherboard and chipset implementation. The multiplier is not unlocked, meaning the multiplierUnlocked field is false and multiplier-based overclocking is not supported. The part number is OS1354WBJ4BGH.

The production status is end-of-life, and the release date is June 2, 2008. The desktop market segment and the AM2+ socket together define the compatible ecosystem: any processor replacement would need to fit Socket AM2+ and use DDR2 memory, and because no other sockets are listed, there is no cross-platform upgrade path in the record. For a buyer assembling a new system, this is a legacy-compatible platform; for an existing AM2+ user, the upgrade path is limited by the socket and memory generation. The locked multiplier further restricts performance tuning options.

FAQ

Q: How many cores and threads does the AMD Opteron 1354 (B3) have?

A: It has 4 cores and 4 threads.

Q: What socket and memory type does it use?

A: It uses Socket AM2+ and supports DDR2 memory on a dual-channel bus with a peak bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported.

Q: Does the processor itself have integrated graphics?

A: The record lists integrated graphics as "On certain motherboards (Chipset feature)," meaning display output may come from the chipset on specific motherboards rather than from the CPU itself.

Q: Is the multiplier unlocked?

A: No. The multiplierUnlocked field is false, so the multiplier is locked.

Q: What is the production status and launch MSRP?

A: The production status is end-of-life. It was released June 2, 2008, and its launch MSRP was $255.

Q: What benchmark scores are recorded for this processor?

A: The benchmarks array is empty and the average benchmark score is 0, so there are no measured benchmark results in the database.
