Sempron is the name of a processor that has been used by the AMD in the market, we may say that it is a market name of the processor. This processor is being used by the many different kind of budget desktop has CPUs, it is using many different type of technologies and CPU socket formats as well. The Sempron is adjusted at the AMD Duron processor and it has the great qualities that make it able to compete against the Intel's Celeron series of processors. AMD got this name from the Latin simper that has very interesting meaninings "always".  There a big logic we find in the suggestion of the name that seems to be the very reasonable as Sempron is suitable for the use of the daily life, it is more practical it becomes the part of the daily routine of life.

If we look back into the history then we will come to know that the first Sempron CPUs were presented in the market, these Sempron CPUs were normally based on the Athlon XP architecture those were having the Thoroughbred or Thorton core in them. These models actually were the combination of the different things like the Socket A interface, 256 KiB L2 cache and the 166 MHz Front side bus. If we think more closely then we will come to know that the Thoroughbred cores formally possess the 256 KiB L2 cache, and Thortons use 512 KiB L2 cache, among that, the half of this was made deactive and at many times it was made reactivated by making a little bit modification in the chip. After that, AMD brought to the market the Sempron 3000+ CPU, it was actually the combination of the Barton core with 512 KiB L2 cache.

When we see from the hardware point of the view and the view point of the user, then we will come to know that the  Socket A Sempron CPUs were naturally and importantly very much identical to Athlon XP desktop CPUs and these were present in the market with the latest brand name. AMD is a great name in the making of the technological items has finished the manufacturing of the all Socket A Sempron CPUs.
