AMD Sempron Processor Details
 

"Later in the third quarter AMD is expected to launch Socket 754 flavour of AMD Sempron processors. Unofficial sources said that AMD Sempron processors for the Socket 754 infrastructure are likely to feature AMD Athlon 64 core, but with disabled 64-bit capability. Formerly such chips were code-named Paris and Victoria. " Paris" will be made using 130nm process and is expected to have 256KB of L2 cache, whereas the size of L2 of the code-named "Victoria" processor produced using 90nm technology is not known."

Hope the 216kb in the L2 isn't close to the total.. Hopefully it will be near a meg. :)

sounds like they're making a budget line of chips .. not a good move as far as i'm concerned...

well duron is dead basically... kinda like intel keeping support with celerons with the 2.8 400MHz fsb :lol:

it sells... (my work just bought like 30 2.4ghz dells...)

well yeah, thats my point, you said its a bad move but I bet it will also sell..

I thought amd was about the gamer, not about business hmm?

Like any successful company, they are in it for making money, possibly among other things. If AMD doesn't keep afloat how can they provide for the gamers?

Right, they want to get into the buisness place as well. They will be decent chips, much better than the Celeron.
