Sempron 64 vs. Celeron D 64

TweakTown compares the performance of two budget 64-bit CPUs: the AMD Sempron 3000+ against the Intel Celeron-D 336.

Overall the Sempron proved itself to be the better CPU, while lagging behind in the encoding and synthetic segments, when it starts to put its K8 architecture behind games, it's clearly the winner overall.

Today we have shown what budget can do and what both companies have on offer. Hopefully we will see the Sempron evolve to include some of the higher functions like DDR-2 later on this year and give Intel something more to worry about.
