AMD's Budget CPU
AMD has released a budget CPU similar to Intel's Celeron CPU.
The AMD "Sempron" includes all the same features such as,
-Lower FSB Speed
-Half the L2 Cache.
This is probably the same story as the celeron. Processors with bad cache are cut down and sold as budget CPUs.
Here's a link to one of the models.

AMD is merely renaming the Athlon XP the 'sempron' and throwing out the Duron...Should be a much better choice than the celeron..
