AMD Releases Sempron Earlier Than Expected

Posted by timothy on from the suitcase-in-hand dept.

I_am_Rambi writes "AMD has released the Sempron today, a release date that moved up from Aug 17th. Because of this move, some of the reviews that are out, will be continued later on. Some sites already have reviews including Toms Hardware, Anandtech, and Tech Report. The Sempron, AMDs budget processor, is staged against the Intel Celeron." Jason Jacobs writes with a review on Techware Labs, and Hack Jandy adds a link to a review at HotHardware, writing "it appears as though the Socket A based Sempron performs abysmally while dollar for dollar the Socket 754 version levels every Intel CPU."

    Here is a tip to get a first post. Change the it.slashdot.org to www.slashdot.org when you get the "Nothing here move on" page.

    Okay, this is about as far off topic as you can get, but WTF is it with this ugly color scheme?

      Don't like it? Try replacing 'it' with 'yro' in the URL. Yellow and brown! Or try 'games'. Purple! Or 'apple'. Aqua! Or 'ask'. Grey!

      It's not exactly difficult, you know.

      Sure wish the folks at slashdot were skilled enough as designers and coders to allow you to pick a theme in user prefs to use always.

      Who am I kidding though, right? I mean the mod system still doesnt really work, the sites more non-standard than anything Frontpage Express ever churned out, and half the story links I click these days take me to that "nothing to see here" page.

    In Soviet Russia, processors perform abysmally.
