The AMD Sempron is AMD's brand for low-cost processors. These are primarily desktop processors that are meant for users on a budget who do not have extensive computing needs (i.e. web, e-mail, word processing, etc.).
The AMD Turion is AMD's mobile-grade processor specifically meant for laptops. These processors draw less power and generate less heat than desktop processors, which is why they are desirable for laptop environments.
The AMD Turion is a much better CPU for use in laptops as the improved power efficiency means longer battery life, and the Turion (not being a low-cost processor) is also likely to be a faster performing processor over the Sempron.
its better when it comes from reliablity and durability AMD is faster sometimes than Intel and more faster than ever to break. AMD's life span is short compared to INTEL.
Each of these names refers to a different line of chips with different architecture. .
The Core 2 is the latest from Intel and currently holds the lead on performance and performance-per-watt for consumers.
The Core was the short-lived successor to the Pentium M line of low-power mobile CPUs.
The Pentium D was a stop-gap solution to AMD's dominance in dual-core processors, superseded by the current Core 2 line.
The Turion 64 X2 is AMD's line of dual-core mobile processors directly competing with Intel's Core and Core 2 mobile lines.

What the guy above said is pretty much your answer. The same goes for Desktop processors too.
You can think of core 2 duos as the true successor to the pentium dual cores really, dispite the couple of less popular models in between. They operate similar but faster and better thanks to their improved archtecture. The AMD x2 chips are dual core chips from intels rival AMD. They usually have less cache than the equivelent intel pentium chip but can in most cases hold their own against their rival. AMDs are usually a little cheaper to replace too. Though Pentium chips usually perform a little better when involved with any kind of file or audio / video compression or encoding.
Most laptops containing pentium dual cores will be upgradable to a core 2 duo as the socket is the same. My Laptop has a pentium dual core in it and it is pretty nifty.
Just dont get a celeron if you dont want a slow machine.

If everything else is equal (hard drive speeds, memory size and video card hardware, etc) the AMD 4000+ is quite a bit faster than a Pentuim 4 2.4ghz.
The Intel 6th Generation i7 is much better than the AMD Athlon.

Perhaps when a person begins to understand just how precious life is. Someone answered a similar question by saying "Young and middle age". But what about old age, is this time in ones life not as important? When one grows older and perhaps retired, they can do all of those thing they missed doing in earlier years.
It is this old codgers opinion that between the ages of four years and twenty are the most important. This period is what I would call the learning years, a period which will enable you to understand the responsibilities in life, and how to face up to them.
There can be no minute, hour, day or year which is the most important. All of these time periods will hold something dear to you. Something that will have you thinking "I am glad I lived through that period of my life".
I have often said on this program that "Time fly's on wings of lightning, you cannot call it back". Every second you draw breath is the most important period in ones life.
NB is North Bridge & SB is South Bridge. U can adjust CPU clock ratios& voltage against that of the NB & SB.
In the early days of computing, programs were serial, that is, a program consisted of a sequence of instructions, where each instruction executed one after the other. It ran from start to finish on a single processor.

Turion.
The sempron is, i believe single core and that for me counts it right out. advantages of the LE sempy are its low energy useage- ideal for a back up PC or other unit that's left on 24/7, other than that go for the Turion. I take it this is for a laptop choice?
Your video card is relatively good compared to the rest of your system, but you may suffer lag at anything higher than the basic resolution of the game, usually 800x600 or 1024x768. I would recommend a CPU upgrade to at least an Athlon II X2 dual-core, 2+ GB of DDR3-1333 memory, and of course, a motherboard compatible with both. Your CPU will likely hold up if you don't upgrade, but 2GB of DDR2-333 is extremely slow. That will likely be your bottleneck. For upgrades, try Newegg.com! Their prices are pretty cheap, and 2GB of new memory, a new motherboard, and an Athlon II dual-core should run you less than $125.
Replace old computers instead of upgrading
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.
Currently FCPGA988 is the most popular Intel mobile socket, the most used socket for AMD is the 638-pin S1 socket.
um, all matter has mass and takes up some amount of "space", however trivial. Think of anything that you could potentially touch or hold, even a single atom could sit in your hand, though you might not be aware of it.
There are two catagories for stuff in the universe (that we have proof of), matter and energy. Things that are not matter must strictly be energy; electricity, light, EM radiation, gravity.
E=mc^2 shows this, energy = matter. There is nothing else (C is the speed of light, kind of like just saying "matter multiplied by a really big number").
The AMD and the Intel worlds are soo close together, but yet soo far apart. I believe the question you ask is what does it compare to as far as Intel is concerned. If you are wondering what Intel CPU it is to be compared to it is the Intel P4 3.06 GHz CPU. I guess the next "Q" is how does it compare. Well the two chip manufactures use two totaly different way to spec. their CPU's. I have personaly wondered which of the two were the best and set out on the quest to find the better CPU for the money, what I found was they were both great CPU's. The benchmarks on the both were over the top but when paired with great PCI Express video, Raid drives and ASUS boards I would recomend the both of them.
There are better people to ask about the dif. in the two, but seeing as how you ask about the 3000+ I would have to asume you go not get into heavy graphics nor do you edit graphics. Just remember with any CPU keep it cool, keep it stable, and it is guarenteed to suceed until it is outdated. At this point in time when I posted this x64 bit is the way to go but remember again the hardware is here laready not the software. Wait on the new "VISTA" to become public then upgrade to the new OS that is being written for the x64."Personal Opinion"
there is no 200 gigahertz Athlon sorry, could you be refering to a 2000 Athlon XP?
Yes. It is a CPU once made by AMD. It is comparable to the Intel Pentium II.
It was released in 1997 and was designed to be able to operate in computers designed for Intel Pentium processors.
