Heck, you can't get anything but the Sempron 64 for
Socket-754 now. Once Intel started selling the Celeron with
EM64T, AMD stopped crippling the Socket-754 Semprons.
Even better is that the two (2) I just got are the full Rev.
E units with SSE3 and everything. Not bad for $75!
Maybe you're thinking of the Socket-939 Semprons? I haven't
seen those other than that one, new HP Sempron S939 3200+.
Remember, Socket-939 *AND* Socket-754 are Athlon 64 capable.
It's only the old Socket-A/462 that is not. ;->

Everything's being "phased out" next year, although I thought
the Socket-754 was still going to be used as a "value"
solution for remaining DDR Hammer x86-64 cores/stock(?).
Others have stated that Socket-939 is going to be the new
Sempron, but I've seen info that Socket-754 is where the
value will stay. So who knows?
BTW, as Peter Arremann posted over on the AMD64 list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/amd64-list/2005-December/msg00103.html
XbitLabs just posted AMD's 2006Q2 plans scheduled for April
6th, 2006:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20051214062233.html
Socket-754 1xDDR -> Socket-"S1"/638 1xDDR2**
Socket-939 2xDDR -> Socket-"M2"/940 2xDDR2
Socket-940 2xDDR -> Socket-"F"/1207 2xDDR2
**NOTE: There were mentions of the Socket-S1/638 being
marketed as dual-DDR2, despite being only a single 240-trace
DDR2 channel. I think it's still single DDR, but uses
dual-DDR interleaving over a single channel like
Socket-423/478 and Socket-A/462 were.
In any case, this is probably a discussion left for the Red
Hat AMD64 list instead of here. Feel free to join ... (I did
back when must of the existing Alpha/AXP list migrated over
in 2003):
