Et spennende utdrag:

Also interesting to note is that the Sempron 3100+ is running at a mere 1.4vcore. Overclockers everywhere rejoice, as you may have just found your budget overclocking chip of choice.

 

In testing, TWL found that the Sempron 3100+ did indeed run cooler than the AMD64 3000+, by a whole 10F!

 

It must be mentioned that, although the processor does indeed run cooler, this is due to the lower vcore as well as lower clock speed of the Sempron 3100+. Temperatures listed are merely for reference.

 

Overclocking:

 

Working on the suspicion that the 3100+ is actually an AMD64 is disguise, TWL went about a bit of overclocking to see what the processor is capable of. We reached a maximum stable operating frequency of 2160 at 1.45vcore. In this situation, it was our Albatron motherboard that limited overclocking this chip further due to the lack of a PCI/AGP lock. It does, however, show what this CPU is capable of. It is the opinion of this reviewer that this CPU would reach frequencies in excess of 2300mhz with proper cooling and a working AGP/PCI lock.

 

AMD Sempron Conclusions

(...)The Sempron 3100+ Socket 754 truly represents where AMD is leading the budget processor market in the future. AMD has provided an unbeatable price/performance ratio with the 3100+. TWL was able to overclock the 3100+ to a stable 2160mhz, which shows that this CPU can, and will, be overclocked. Running at a default 1.4vcore, this CPU has a lot of room to grow. At stock speeds, the 3100+ is a budget consumer processor that can compete with the Pentium 4, at a price that can't be touched for its performance. The potential for the Socket 754 Sempron to be used as an inexpensive gateway to future 64-bit processor upgrades also provides an amazing opportunity to budget-minded enthusiasts.

 

AMD is releasing these processors well ahead of its scheduled release, which also says something about AMD's ability to meet market demand for a product as well as listening to its resellers and partner manufacturers. Several companies have launched products known to be "paper launches" in the past, but the Sempron comes out as a full-fledged product, with processors arriving to OEM's in China and overseas as you read this. The Sempron Socket A is an excellent choice for those seeking the best computing performance for the money, and those with a little extra cash would do well to check into the Sempron Socket 754 3100+.

 

TWL is happy to award our Recommended Product to the AMD Sempron

 

 

Hadde vært fint om den kom straks, ja....

Er sempron bedre en vanlige xp-er?

I hvertfall i Doom3 - skyldes nok 754 Socketen ... ikke bare CPU
