Gaming Performance
The Semprons are much stronger gaming performers than the Celeron D, showing their might in newer games like Doom 3, but the gap closes as we move to older games like UT2004 and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Regardless, the Sempron is still the better gaming CPU of the two. However, there's a huge performance gap between the Semprons and the low end Athlon 64s.

I would still prefer the Athlon 64 on Socket 939. However, this new Sempron would be good for some kind of HTPC/media computer. How about the power envelope? Cool and Quiet?snedzad - Monday, April 18, 2005 - link
