[ThunderChicken]

no it is amd64 chip with the 64bit extensions, i read that on one of the amd message board things, and from anandtech, they are the same way as the a64 chips are multi wise they are upwards locked but not downwards.*the multi im not for sureon*

[Fireonice]

hmm well answer this. if my memory suves me right, the sempron 3100's arcitecture is compleatly differnt from the a64 chips.

 

once agin i might not be right

 

edit- also if its just a64 bit chip with the 64 bit dissabled why cant u enable it?? maby beucase its just not there.

Plain and simple sempron is amd's answer to intel's celeron. They usually oc very well. lower temps.

there are actually 3 cores used in semprons.

 

754: 3100+, 1.8ghz, 200mhz fsb, 256k L2, disabled (bad) 64 bit extensions, Paris core (failed newcastle)

2600+, 1.8ghz, 166mhz fsb, 256k L2, diabled (bad) 64 bit extensions, Paris core (failed newcastle)

3300+, 2ghz, 200mhz fsb, 128k L2, disabled (bad) 64 bit extensions, winchester core

 

socket A:

2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600, 2800, 166mhz fsb, 256k L2. NOTHING DISABLED OR BROKEN, T-bred core (same as many athlon xp's)

3000+, 166mhz fsb, 512k L2, Barton core.

You forgot about the 2800+ for 754, 1.6 GHz.

There are "two" 1.8 GHz Semprons for 754, the 128K cache 3000+ falls short of its 3100+ brother.

[bigred]

you're right. the 754 family of semprons has been growing like weeds lately.

[Guest FxXP]

Now if we can have a dual-core Sempron, that would be nice.

[Buckwell]

so Semperons are decent cards for there price my 2600 is a 2500 barton?????

[Guest FxXP]

CPU's are not cards. Chips is a more relative term to them.

The Sempron 2600+ and 2800+ are T-Bred based models, the 3000+ is from the barton core.

Codename Palermo (90nm) for Sempron 754 is from the Winchester core.

cpu cards?? he might be referring to the cpu's during the intel's mmx days when a cpu is a "card" slot type? isnt it? (",)
