AMD introduces what I consider to be a “hybrid of Athlon and
Duron CPUs”. They are calling it the AMD Sempron and it does
appear to have some promise. AMD claims that while it may be a
“value priced processor”, it is not without the horsepower
to get the job done. For instance, they are saying that it can do
office type productivity and some digital content creation as well.
Sounds pretty cool, but why…
Sempron vs. Celeron D
Sempron vs. Celeron D
07/30/2004 09:00 PMThe budget PC market is one of those places where no one wants to
admit going, but everyone does. Most of us have built a PC for our
mom or sister or friend that needs nothing but the bare essentials
and, oh, did they mention they want it dirt cheap? Such is the life
of a modern day PC enthusiast. That isn't a completely fair assumption
of course as I have a system in my office that was considered a
"budget" system when I built it to serve as a file server
for benchmark purposes. These $500 and under machines have all kinds
of uses and can facilitate bringing the digital world to just about
everyone. Today we are going to be looking at two options for that
budget system; one based on the Intel Celeron D processor and the
other on AMD's newly announced Sempron family of processors.
AMD Sempron 2800+
The Sempron family is AMD's newly announced family of processors to
cater to the budget PC crowd that includes emerging markets and all
the examples we used above. Where once the name of Duron stood below
the Athlon, now doth Sempron. There was a gap in between the two of
course where AMD's budget processors were in fact Athlon processors,
just the older, slower models. You will find that in reality, that is
still the case.
Intel Celeron 335
With the release of the Prescott core Pentium 4 chips, Intel has been
fairly quiet about its release of the new Celeron D processor, based
on the same 90nm core technology. The Celeron used to be easily
knocked to the side by the lower priced Athlon XP cores but the new D
revision adds to the L2 cache for a total of 256 KB.

04/14/2005 06:40 AMAdvanced Micro Devices (AMD) plans to lower the unit prices for Socket
754 Sempron processors in early May, with the maximum cut being 15%,
according to Taiwan motherboard makers. The price reduction for the
entry-level K8-compatible CPUs will help AMD with its plan to phase
out its Socket-A processors by the end of the third quarter, according
to market sources. However, according to AMD Taiwan, the company will
continue producing K7 processors as customers have requested it do
so.

AMD Sempron 3100+: The best value
processor yet
09/13/2004 08:48 AMSOMETIMES AMD pulls a lion out of the bag instead of the proverbial
cat. The Sempron family could have been seen by most reviewers as a
bunch of rebadged Thoroughbred CPUs destined at helping the channel
getting rid of the last batch of Athlon XP processors. That's what in
a nutshell, most of them are, from the Sempron 2300+ to the last
Sempron 2800+. Basically, 333MHz Socket A Athlons with 256KB cache, in
some cases. Actually, some online retailers are even rebadging on the
fly, Barton Athlon XP processors to Sempron 3200+.
The Sempron 3100+ on the other hand is a brand new product and put
some spice in the whole line. It is the first member of the Paris
family, itself a derivative of the Newcastle family which include the
first Athlon64 2800+. The three main notable differences between the
Sempron 3100+ and the rest of the Athlon 64 family concerns the amount
of L2 cache, 256KB instead of the usual 512KB or 1MB cache, the fact
that it has a single channel DDR memory controller and a single
hypertransport Link and the fact that it has no AMD64 capabilities but
will include the NX bit and Cool'n'quiet features. The Sempron 3100+
is built using a 130nm SOI process, like most new AMD processors, and
it has been positioned against the Intel Celeron family.

AMD confirms Sempron model number

08/05/2004 02:31 PMChip firm AMD said that pressure from its customers caused it to
introduce its "value" Sempron chips at the end of July, and
not the 17th of August, which was its original intention, as we
reported some while back. And the firm also confirmed our earlier
reports that the model numbers used for its Sempron processors use a
different system than before. Ryan Crouch, desktop business
development manager at AMD Austin, described those as a
"subset" of the existing numbers - only including suitable
applications geared to the value rather than performance end of the
market.
Crouch said some people had asked why AMD did not use the Athlon XP to
launch its attack on Celeron Ds, which he confirmed was the target of
the Sempr0n introductions. The basic answer to that was die cost, he
said. Sempron chips will gradually displace Athlon XPs, but will
target Celeron Ds on both price and performance. He said: "Each
[AMD] brand is associated with a computing style. For each brand we
have a different benchmarketing scenario"
