Our take on the AMD Sempron X2 190 Dual-Core Processor

The Sempron X2 190 is a budget dual-core desktop CPU for the AM3 socket, running at 2.5 GHz with no Turbo and no integrated graphics. It is a basic office and home PC chip: fine for browsing, documents and light multitasking, but slow for gaming or media work. Against the Athlon II X2 line it gives up cache and clock speed, and against any modern CPU it is far behind on performance and efficiency. Buy it only to revive an old AM3 board or as a very cheap spare.

Questions and answers

Is the Sempron X2 190 worth it today?
Only for keeping an old AM3 system alive or for very basic tasks. For anything modern, a newer CPU is a much better choice.
Does it have integrated graphics?
No. You need a discrete graphics card or a motherboard with onboard video to get a display output.
What socket does it use?
It uses AMD Socket AM3, so it fits AM3 motherboards that support Sempron CPUs.
How does it compare with the Athlon II X2?
The Athlon II X2 has more cache and higher clocks, so it is faster. The Sempron is the cheaper, slower option.
Can it handle gaming?
Only very old or light games. It is too slow for modern titles even with a dedicated GPU.
What comes in the box?
Retail versions include the CPU and a stock cooler. Used chips are often sold as the processor alone.
Where is the AMD Sempron X2 190 Dual-Core Processor cheapest?
At Newegg, for $34.85, as of our latest check.
