what do they mean? I think that Sempron comes from the Spanish word "siempre" it means always. it makes sense, the president on AMD, Hector Ruiz, is Hispanic, the Sempron came out while he has been "in office". but what do the other words mean???

Dunno what they literally mean but I'm pretty sure Celeron is translated from the Greek word "Useless"

Nice.

I know Sempron comes from Latin Semper (always) and Athlon is short for decathlon. Don't know about the rest.

Turion-They are produced in response to unfavourable conditions

Turion X2 Release date-May 17th 2006
Conroe Release Date-July 27th 2006

Coincidence, I think not.

Only some overclock like crazy, others are junk. Kinda sad how an AthlonXP 1700 can crush a 2.6Ghz Celeron in basically ANY benchmark and the low end Athlon will overclock like crazy too. Better things to spend your money on too

A Cedar Mill Celeron 356 3.33GHz can reach 5GHz, search OCN threads.

Still even at 5Ghz what kind of performance is it going to give?

not very good, and the only reason they got it so high is cus its 65nm, so its not as hot
