AMD 2500+ Socket A CPUs Compared

Posted by timothy on from the other-semiconductor-company dept.

SuperPuppy writes "Hardcoreware.net has rounded up three 2500+ Socket A processors from AMD. An AthlonXP, based on the Barton core (this particular one predates the locked multipliers we've been seeing lately), a Mobile Athlon, based on the Barton SOI, and the new Sempron, which is based on the Tbred core. Each processor differs in clock frequency and cache size, but most importantly, the Mobile Athlon takes up a LOT less juice than either of the other two, and is therefore a remarkable performer in terms of overclocking. The Sempron was quite disappointing on all fronts but price."

    It never ceases to amaze me how much some people care about something so dumb. The whole "karma whore" bitch-fest that happens all too frequently on /. is just so stupid. Give it up people, does /. "karma" really matter that much? If so, you need to get a life.
