What processors are compatible with Socket AM3?

  1. Athlon 64, 64x2

  2. Phenom II, Athlon II, Sempron, and Opteron 1380

  3. Phenom II, Athlon II, FX, and Opteron 3000

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Phenom II, Athlon II, Sempron, and Opteron 1380

The processors compatible with Socket AM3 include the Phenom II, Athlon II, Sempron, and Opteron 1380. Socket AM3 supports these specific families of processors, which were designed to work with the AM3 architecture, allowing for dual-channel DDR2 and DDR3 memory access. While Athlon 64 and 64x2 are older models that fit into the earlier AM2 and AM2+ sockets, they aren’t compatible with AM3. The inclusion of FX processors is also incorrect, as those are associated with newer sockets beyond AM3. Thus, the suitable choice is indeed the one that specifically lists the processors designed for the AM3 socket, highlighting the precise relationship between the architecture and the compatible CPU families.
