AMD Goes down...
...and this time without Eric Clapton. "The AMD Sempron processor family is expected to redefine everyday computing for today's value-conscious buyers of desktop and notebook PCs." Okay, so they're barking up the Celeron tree and this new CPU will bring the AMD stable to Athlon XP, Athlon64, and Sempron. There aren't any real details until the fall so I'm not going to start making "Simpering CPU" comments (like my Intel Celery jibes) until after the data's on the table --even though that's what the spellchecker wants to use to replace Sempron. One thing to keep in mind, targeted CPUs may live on but they're often not beneficial, just money bins. We'll wait and see.
