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.

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.


What do you need to change an AMD sempron le-1250 with an AMD Athlon 64 x2?

To upgrade from an AMD Sempron LE-1250 to an AMD Athlon 64 X2, you will need to ensure that your motherboard supports the Athlon 64 X2, as both processors use different architectures. You may need to update the BIOS to the latest version for compatibility. Additionally, ensure that your power supply can handle the increased power requirements, and check that your cooling system is adequate for the new processor. Finally, you will need to physically remove the Sempron and install the Athlon X2, applying thermal paste and securing the cooler properly.

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.

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.
