Sempron
Sempron is a name for AMD's line of lower-cost CPUs.
The Sempron line is designed to complete against the Intel Celeron lower-cost CPUs.
Sempron CPUs feature a L1 cache with 64KB of memory for data and another 64KB of memory for instructions.
The L2 cache on Sempron CPUs operates at the full speed of the CPU and ranges from 128KB to 512KB in size.
Sempron CPUs support MMX, 3DNow!, and SSE. Some models of Sempron CPUs also support SSE2.
Sempron CPUs are designed to fit Socket-A or Socket-754 CPU sockets.

- Athlon
Athlon is a name for AMD’s main line of Intel-compatible CPUs. The Athlon line is designed to complete against the Intel Pentium CPUs. Athlon CPUs feature a L1 cache with 64KB of memory for data and another 64KB of memory for instructions. Athlon CPUs support MMX, 3DNow!, and SSE. Some models of Athlon CPUs also [...]...
- Athlon-64
Athlon-64 is a name for AMD’s main line of 64-bit CPUs. The Athlon-64 line is designed to complete against the Intel Pentium CPUs. Athlon-64 processors are designed to execute 32-bit and 64-bit instructions simultaneously. This enables them to directly address more than 4GB of RAM. Athlon-64 CPUs feature an L1 cache with 64KB of RAM [...]...
- Opteron
Opteron is a name for AMD's line of server-class CPUs. The Opteron line is designed to complete against the Intel Xeon server-class CPUs. Opteron processors are designed to execute 32-bit and 64-bit instuctions simultaneously. This enables them to directly address more than 4GB of RAM. Opteron CPUs feature an L1 cache with 64KB of RAM [...]...
- Socket-A
Socket-A is a 462-contact CPU socket which is used by AMD CPUs, such as the K7, Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron, and Sempron. The Socket-A is a Pin Grid Array (PGA) Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket. A ZIF socket features a lever on one side of the socket. When this lever is pulled up, the spring [...]...
- Socket 754
Socket 754 is a 754-contact CPU socket used by some AMD Athlon and Sempron processors. Socket-754 supports a 200MHz system clock and an 800Mhz HyperTransport link. Socket-754 is similar to Socket-939, except that Socket-754 supports only one memory controller channel as opposed to the dual channels available on the Socket-939 and that the HyperTransport bus [...]...
