Semprons are the low end processors for AMD, just like Celerons are for Intel. What the exact difference is depends on which set of Athlon and Sempron you are talking about, but usually it is less cache and a slower HyperTransport speed.

The Athlon is equal to the Intel Pentium & the Sempron is equal to the Intel Celeron. So the Athlon is the better chip (the sempron only has 1/2 the cache) & that is why the difference in price.

particular.... A quicker processor is extra helpful waiting to maintain up with the video card, this provides you with larger frames according to 2d on your video games.. Phenom II X4 945 3.0ghz processor is 10% quicker than a Athlon II X4 640 3.0ghz. Then a extra advantageous clocked processor like the Phenom II X4 965 is going to be 20% quicker than the Athlon II X4 640. various this has to do with the Phenom II chips having 6mb of L3 cache. this provides the processor one extra device while it contains drawing reminiscence from the RAM. With that pronounced, lots of those people do no longer know that all and sundry of AM3 X4, X3, and X2 processors come from the comparable silicon. the costlier chips like the Phenom II X4 970 are extra sturdy than an Athlon II X4 chip. the final rule of thumb is you are able to overclock a extra high priced processor chip larger than a extra decrease priced chip. it incredibly is all area of the binning technique. precis, -The Phenom II has 6mb of L3 cache reminiscence. The Athlon II has no L3 cache reminiscence. -The Phenom II is 10% quicker while the clock expenses are equivalent. -The Phenom II chip is binned larger then the Athlon II. meaning the Phenom II chip got here closer to perfection than the Athlon II chip.

Athlons are better, Semprons are worse. In this case, you get what you pay for.

Hi. Some of the Athlons can be unlocked to allow overclocking. Mine is. So it depends on what you intend to do.
