AMD Sempron 2800+ and 3100+ Processor Review

July 30, 2004 · by John Chen

Budget users can finally have something to look forward to. Socket A hasn’t died, but is nearing the end. The new AMD Semprons show a lot of promise.

“The high-end processors get the lion’s share of the headlines, but AMD hasn’t forgotten about those on a budget. The new Sempron line not only redefines the Socket A market, but makes serious inroads into the Socket 754 camp as well. In this review, we’ll be taking the new Sempron 2800+ and 3100+ up against the 2.8 GHz Celeron D 335, and a selection of Athlon XP and Pentium 4 models as well.”
