Source-derived summary

AMD FX is a discontinued series of AMD microprocessors for personal computers. The following is a list of AMD FX brand microprocessors. Some APUs also carry an FX model name, but the term "FX" normally only refers to CPUs which are not just APUs with the iGPU disabled.

Desktop CPUs

Athlon 64 Family (90–130 nm)

These processors were the first AMD CPUs to use the "FX" designation and identified the chip as being higher-performance. The frequency multiplier was unlocked in these chips.

SledgeHammer Core (130 nm)

Socket 940

L1 cache: 64 kb + 64 kb (data + instruction)

L2 cache: 1024 kb (full speed)

Instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64

Models: FX-51 (2.2 GHz) and FX-53 (2.4 GHz)

ClawHammer Core (130 nm)

Socket 939

L1 cache: 64 kb + 64 kb (data + instruction)

L2 cache: 1024 kb (full speed)

Instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64

Models: FX-53 (2.4 GHz) and FX-55 (2.6 GHz)

SanDiego Core (90 nm)

Socket 939

L1 cache: 64 kb + 64 kb (data + instruction)

L2 cache: 1024 kb (full speed)

Instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64

Power management features: Cool'n'Quiet

Models: FX-55 (2.6 GHz) and FX-57 (2.8 GHz)

Toledo Core (90 nm, dual-core)

Socket 939

L1 cache (per core): 64 kb + 64 kb (data + instruction)

L2 cache (per core): 1024 kb (full speed)

Instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64

Power management features: Cool'n'Quiet

Models: FX-60 (2.6 GHz)

Windsor Core (90 nm, dual-core)

Socket AM2

L1 cache (per core): 64 kb + 64 kb (data + instruction)

L2 cache (per core): 1024 kb (full speed)

Instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64, AMD-V

Power management features: Cool'n'Quiet

Models: FX-62 (2.8 GHz)

Windsor Core (90 nm, dual-core, dual-processor)

Socket F

L1 cache (per core): 64 kb + 64 kb (data + instruction)

L2 cache (per core): 1024 kb (full speed)

Instruction sets: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64, AMD-V

Power management features: Cool'n'Quiet

Models: FX-70 (2.6 GHz), FX-72 (2.8 GHz), FX-74 (3.0 GHz)

Bulldozer Family (32 nm)

All models binned from 8 logical cores with simple OROCHI die production, in 938 pins μPGA package AM3+ socket.

All AMD FX microprocessors are unlocked and overclockable.

Two Integers-Clusters (seen as logical cores from OS) in each Bulldozer Module.

4 Bulldozer modules within FX-8 series, 3 in FX-6 series, and 2 in FX-4 series.

All models support up to 4 DIMMs of DDR3-1866 memory.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “List of AMD FX processors” as wikimedia list article. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around List, processors and Wikimedia.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1024, 1866—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with List, processors and Wikimedia providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “List of AMD FX processors”, the useful work is to connect “wikimedia list article” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q294935. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1024 and 1866.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
