Semprons' are single-core processors except for the 4 "Brisbane" models which are the only dual-core Semprons'. And the fastest Semprons' are "Sargas" models (based off the Phenom II) and the "Sargas" have a top default frequency of 2.8 GHz. Semprons' are designed to be a low-budget processor.
Athlons' have a long and large line; the original Athlon, Athlon 64, Athlon x2, Athlon XP, and Athlon II. Athlons' are now the mid to low-budget processor. the Athlon line offers a huge diversity of choices. Athlon II is based off the Phenom II processor.
The main difference is the aimed target group which is budget level for either processor. They both share similar architecture and some of both are based off the Phenom II.

∙ 9y agoThe AMD Sempron processor is a budget processor developed to be placed in computers that are designed for everyday use. They are a single core processor, but the newer ones have 64-bit support and are sometimes called Sempron64's. The Athlon processor is a little more efficient due to the dual cores.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe athlon 64 is a 64 bit processor. Not many operating systems are capable of using that feature. The processor is backward compatible and will still run the conventional instruction set.

∙ 15y agoThe Sempron is a cost-reduced reduced version of the Sempron, with a smaller L2 cache.

Is an AMD Athlon processor compatible to an AMD Sempron motherboard?
Yes, It is compatible.
Which is best athlon or sempron?
The Sempron line replaced the Duron line beginning in 2004. Sempron processors are faster than Duron processors by the very nature of being newer, though they target the same market segment.
What processor are used with the socket am3 connector?
You can use an amd sempron or an amd athlon II with an am3 socket, but when am3 was released it was meant to be used with the amd phenom line of CPUs. You can use all three: amd sempron, amd athlon II & amd phenom.
Is the AMD processor adequate for home use?
Depends - AMD make lots of different processors - What one are you looking at (Athlon, Phenom, Sempron)
Which AMD desktop processor is comparable to the Intel Celeron D?
As the Celeron D is a product line and not a specific processor, there is no specific comparable processor. Depending on the model. the Celeron D is comparable in performance to various Athlon 64, Athlon XP, and Sempron processors.
What is the Difference between Intel i3 processor and AMD athlon processor?
Amd is just awesome then intel.
What is the difference between an AMD Athlon and an AMD Athlon 64?
The AMD Athlon 64 supports 64-bit addressing, while the AMD Athlon uses only 32-bit addressing. 64-bit addressing allows the processor to access more than 4 GB of RAM, which is increasingly important as applications become more memory hungry.
What is an AMD Athlon?
The AMD Athlon is a line of 32-bit microprocessors manufactured by AMD between 199 and 2005. The "Athlon" brand name is continued in other 32-bit and 64-bit processors, such as the Athlon XP, Athlon 64, and Athlon 64 X2.
Will my operating system play fallout 3 you have a amd athlon 64 2x 4200 plus at 2.2 ghz and they say a intell at 2.4 ghz?
I'm playing it on a Sempron 1.8, so I'd say yes.
What is the difference between an AMD Athlon and an AMD Turion?
AnswerThe primary difference between the Athlon series of processors, and the Turion series of processors (which are based on the Athlons) is that the Turion processors are designed for mobile platforms (like laptops) and consume less energy dissipating between 25 Watts (the MT series) and 35 Watts (the ML) and between 31 and 35 Watts for the TL series.The Athlon processors dissipate on average around twice that much power, although some of the specific Athlon Mobile processors have power dissipation levels similar to the Turions.Both processors come with L2 Caches of 512KB at the lower end up to 1024KB at the higher end, and processing speeds are comparable between the series.
Is the sempron a dual core processor?
sempron is not a dual core processor.
Can you install a gforce 8400 video card and an AMD Athlon II x2 processor in a Compaq Presario SR1320NX?
Compaq Presario SR1320NX is a very old computer launched in 2004. It has got an Asus K8S-LA motherboard. The motherboard has got SiS 760/964 chipset and socket is 754. Socket 754 supports athlon 64 and sempron 64 series processors. The Athlon II X2 family requires Socket AM2+ or Socket AM3. Recommended processors for your motherboard are AMD Athlon 64 3700+ processor (Clawhammer, 2.4 GHz), AMD Athlon 64 3400+ processor (Newcastle, 2.4 GHz) or AMD Sempron. The motherboard also comes with 1 AGPand 3 PCI expansion slots. GeForce 8400 GS requires a PCI Express x16 which is not present on the board. For upgrades it would be better to buy a new motherboard, processor and DDR3 RAM. rather than spending money on processor and graphics card for the old motherboard.
