Sempron 3100+:different FSBs

[daagphur]

I'm comparing the two Sempron 3100+s seen here....

I see the Paris core has 800Mhz FSB;the Palermo has 400Mhz.I know the Palermo core is the more modern version of the chip on the 90nm process,and should be the more desirable of the two.But doesn't the half-speed FSB put the Palermo at a big disadvantage?Or is it a matter of the memory speed limited to 400Mhz(DDR400) anyway,making it irrelevant?

it probably just a typo, the palermo should have 800mhz fsb (hypertransport)

Nailed it exactly

I don't think any of the socket 754 Semprons have Hyper Transport enabled.

Further confusion...does HT refer to the link betwen CPU and memory,or betwen CPU and northbridge?

There is no HT link between the processor and memory.
All Athlon 64s (and their budget incarnations) still use the old double-pumped EV6 bus to communicate with memory, operating at an effective 400MHz.

Hypertransport connects the processor to system peripherals, not to memory.
