It could be AMD's Cool n Quiet at work. When your Sempron is idle or under low load, it downclocks automatically to reduce power consumption and therefore extend battery life. Once the processor is under full load, it goes full blast to 1.6Ghz.
Intel mobile processors also have that feature under a different name - Intel Speedstep Technology
