We tested the Sempron 2800+, 3000+ and 3400+, which all use Socket 754. These are
The first Socket 754 Semprons didn't support the x86-64 64-bit instruction set, so they were incompatible with the 64-bit version of Windows XP Professional. However, in June 2005, AMD decided to sell Sempron processors with 64-bit extensions. Semprons may not have the raw power of the Athlon 64 processors, but they provide 64-bit computing at a low price. Our test results showed that a system based on a Sempron processor is fine for normal office tasks, but struggles with advanced applications such as video editing and gaming. Even the fastest Sempron in the group, the £95 3400+, couldn't match Intel's £54 Celeron D 330 in our video-encoding test. It scored 73, some way behind the Celeron's 86. We managed to overclock the 3400+ to 2.3GHz, however, where it managed scores of 4,244 in PCMark04 and 103 in our video-encoding test. This was faster than the Athlon 64 3500+, which costs £85 more.
