I was waiting on the old sempron price to drop when the sempron 64 would be
introduced. I saw a sempron64 2800 with 256kb of cache (running at 1.6 mhz)
at new egg for $76 for socket 754. the old socket A semprons have gone up
in price ( sempron 2500 was almost $80 and was clocked higher than the
sempron64 2800}

what is going on? how would the sempron 64 at 2800 compare to the athlon 64
at 2800 or athlon xp at 2800?

thanks

Vinny
 
Before too long you can get a 64-bit Sempron for $64 with heatsink in a
retail package (online prices).

So it's not really worth sticking with Socket A unless you're broke. In that
case, if you already have a good heatsink, you could get a Duron 1.6 at
newegg.

I no longer want an old sempron. I am just confused by the fact the new
sempron 64 2800 socket 754 costs $76 and the old sempron 2500 for socket A
costs $85 (newegg prices).
something does not add up. I am concernd about the performance.

Oh, I see.

They are discouraging people from getting socket A, apparently. It's a bit
like how old types of memory go through a phase where they become expensive.

Less demand, so higher price, as stock is limited..
