New Dual-Core Semprons
AMD has launched a 2100+, 1.8 GHz dual-core Sempron on China:

I don't want to spoil the page so I put the data about new semprons here. If you think it's worth putting it into the article then do.

AMD is going to release some new Semprons (Socket 754) in March 2005:

Sempron 2600+, 1.6 GHz, 128 Kb L2 cache

2800+ - 1.6 - 256

3000+ 1.8 - 128

3300+ 2.0 - 128

3400+ 2.0 - 256

 * The Winchester Sempron 939 needs to included in this article, since now the manufacturers are using them. Well all the 939 semprons.--x1987x 18:01, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems somehow HP and probably some other vendors get modified AMD64 socket 939s, that are semprons...

NX bit
How come my Sempron 3100+ (Paris core, bought few days after it came out) supports NX bits? I have never seen an indicator that it is working (maybe even there isn't one) but Windows XP allows me to turn on DEP, which is essentially NX bit with another name. --antilived 03:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I've got a Sempron 3100+ and it is 64-bit enabled... I've read on forums about people running Windows XP x64 with one. It turns out the new Paris core Semprons are 64-bit. Might want to update the main page.

I would do it myself but im not sure: could sum1 comment on the numbering system used on semoprons & sempron/64s 212.120.229.70 03:27, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Some of the later Paris cores definitely have AMD64. CPUID verifies this, and besides I'm running Windows x64 on my Paris core Sempron. Generic
 * Only 90nm variants have AMD64 enabled, Paris is 130nm. What version/revision is reported by CPUID, CPU-Z, Everest or others ? --Denniss 16:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a D0 Palermo with AMD64 enabled, wheras the article currently says only the E6 stepping supports it. 87.113.14.16 01:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Shift to mobile computing?
Avalyn recently added a paragraph about the shift of Sempron implementation in 2006 from desktop to mobile. While I won't argue that the Sempron mobile market could be growing, it doesn't seem right to suggest that desktop Semprons are disappearing. So, I put a "dubious" tag at the end of the paragraph. Can someone cite an article that suggests a clear shift? Otherwise, I could point you to several sites which still sell Sempron desktops - hp.com, for example. Also, there will be many desktop Sempron CPUs among the upcoming socket AM2 models. --Vossanova 14:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with Vossanova. I don't think that AMD will drop it's value/budget variant for desktop PCs.--Sorin 23:10, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed the paragraph. --Vossanova 17:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Athlon
What does the 2nd-to-last sentence of the 1st paragraph under History and Features mean? If I have a Sempron 3000+ Barton w/a 512KB L2 cache, do I essentially have an Athlon? Geekosaurus 22:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, basically a renamed AthlonXP with Barton core. 256K models are former AthlonXP with T-Bred or Thorton core.--Denniss 22:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Cool n quiet
I mentioned this elsewhere but have yet to receive a response. I believe this article may be wrong. Here and elsewhere on wiki it's suggested all AM2 Semprons support CnQ. However I can't find any reference to this claim and I've come across at least case where someone claims to have been told via AMD that you need at least a 1.8ghz Sempron even with AM2 for CnQ. (Since AM2 have different PRs, it'll be the 3200+ not the 3000+ to have.) Does anyone actually have evidence for the claim that all Semprons AM2s support CnQ Nil Einne 23:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

AM2

 * In 2006, AMD announced the Socket AM2 line of Sempron processors. These are functionally equivalent to the previous generation, except for the usage of a DDR2 SDRAM memory controller instead of DDR SDRAM

This is perhaps a bit unclear. The AM2 line of course come with a dual channel memory controller, like the OEM 939 Semprons but unlike the 754 Semprons... Nil Einne 14:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Added the CPU Infobox
I added the infobox due to the fact AMD's competitors had one. Example Pentium D Jonathanpl 07:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

"Future plans" no longer future
Since the first paragraph of "Future plans" refers to Q2 2007, which is no longer future, I've tagged it as out of date. Could someone please update this with sourced, current information? Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

List of AMD Sempron microprocessors has been updated with the Sparta Sempron LE-1000 series. Anyone wishing to update the future plans section may find more information about the LE-1000 series at http://arstechnica.com/journals/hardware.ars/2007/10/08/amd-launches-new-line-of-energy-efficient-desktop-processors?bub and http://www.hardspell.com/english/doc/showcont.asp?news_id=920.

Remarked Semprons
Hi, the first picture in the article (Sempron K7 2800+) seems to be a known fake. Those were spread widely in the market and are remarked AMD Geode NX 1750.

The Bridges L6, L8, L11 and L12 are obviously manipulated.

Unlocking the second core
see wiki Athlon II and http://www.techpowerup.com/101389/Sempron_140_Unlocks_to_Athlon_II_X2.html

"Sempron 140 single-core processor can be transformed into a dual-core Athlon II X2 series processor with a simple, well-known trick. This comes as no surprise, as the "Sargas" core the processor is based on, is made by disabling one core on the Regor dual-core die. The trick requires a motherboard with AMD SB710 or SB750 southbridge that supports the Advanced Clock Calibration feature." Shjacks45 (talk) 04:16, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
