[seems Sempron 3100+ is still the only semp k8]

Socket A Sempron will eventually be targeted at the extreme budget line of
computing with the Sempron 2200+ clocked at 1.5GHz and priced about where
we can find 1.2GHz Duron processors... looking forward to testing some
extreme budget systems based on these processors.


[looks like retail k7 semps are mostly 2800+ already. 2200 is gone? 2400
going.]



I just bought this Sempron 2200+:

and was surprized that it seems to be an overclocked Athlon / 333 MHz
bus. Is it possible that they just started calling some Athlons by the
new name? The ID says it is a model 8 - the price was right, but it
runs hotter than expected for a 'new' model chip.
