Not sure!
Is it good for future Longhorn ?

Seems that it is to compete with Celeron, not P4.

The sempron is an XP...for sockets 462 and 754, and it competes with celeron Ds.

Semprons as 64-bit-disabled Athlon 64s

The lower (socket 462, also known as 'socket A') Semprons are XPs. The higher (socket 754) Semprons are Athlon 64s with 64-bit extensions disabled (but everything else, including onboard full-speed front side bus, left enabled).

why disable the 64-bit function?
cost down?

they don't want a cpu as good as a a64 to be cheaper.. :smile:

After raising the question here, I checked out another site that I go to sometimes. It said that the model based on the 64 with half the cache and running at 32 bit would still have the on-die memory controller which would make it a good performer for games, but the price difference is not really worth the cut in cache and loss of 64 bit capablity (it's only about $30.00 less than the 64 bit model).

Have you used one of the Semprons?

Just what we need, another version of the Celeron. Half the performance for a few bucks cheaper.
