Sempron (754)/Athlon XP equivalents

[berkut7]

I recently purchased the fry's combo with a Sempron 2800+ (1.6GHz/256KB). I also have a Mobile Athlon XP 2400+ running at 3200+ speeds (2.2GHz/400FSB/512KB).

Question: how high would the Sempron have to be overclocked to match the performance of an Athlon XP running at 2.2GHz (or 1.8GHz, or 2.0GHz)? I know performance varies depending on use, but I'm interested in general/gaming performance.

The Sempron Should already outperform that Athlon XP here is why..

1. Much faster bus speed...
2. Integrated memory controller
3. Newer instruction set's SSE2/SSE3

I have a sempron 2800 also and it outperforms my dads Athlon XP 2400. I would say if you got the sempron to 2.0ghz like mine you would be pretty good for gaming...

I posted the question and only minutes later discovered this: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

From the looks of it the Sempron running at 2.0GHz (3400+) wins most of benchmarks against Athlon XP 3200+ with twice less L2 cache.
The only tests it loses to AXP are LAME, Ogg, and some synthetic SiSoft Sandra and PCMarks05 tests. The Sempron wins gaming test with pretty big margins. I'm convinced, I'm keeping it. Thanks for the reply AMDrulZ, although my Sempron doesn't have SSE3, it's not one of the newer revisions, but that doesn't matter much to me.

A Sempron at 1.8GHz (3100+) is more or less equal to an AthlonXP 3200+.

EDIT: I see that I was a little late.
