Is a Sempron 2400+ and Athlon 2400+ (Tbred) close

[sharkeeper]

As in performance?

Do Semprons have mem controller? If so they are better.

2004: "Obviously the memory controller will be integrated on the Socket 754 and Socket 939 versions of the processor."

2005: "The AMD Sempron? processor?s full-featured capabilities can include HyperTransport? technology, up to 512k total high-performance cache, advanced 333Mhz front-side bus, 3DNow! Professional technology, and an integrated DDR memory controller."

The Sempron 2400+ is almost certainly Socket A, in which case the Athlon XP would easily be faster.

No the 2400+ is socket A like its XP cousin.

"Sempron is a slower Athlon XP (the exception goes to the Sempron socket 754 versions, which are an Athlon 64 with less L2 memory cache; these models use socket 754 pinout, thus requiring motherboards originally developed to Athlon 64, having a greater performance then socket 462 models). Originally Sempron socket 754 didn't have the 64-bit extensions available on Athlon 64, but since July, 2005, AMD introduced the 64-bit instructions on these processors. So, the socket 754 Semprons listed below can be found with or without the 64-bit extensions."

Ok so it's slower but not celeron slow.
