AMD's Sempron is their newest low-end CPU. It is replacing the Duron processor, and will compete against Intel's Celeron D processor.
Initial variants will be based on the Athlon XP's Thorton Core, with a 256KB L2 cache and a 333MHz-effective bus. Later versions will use a version of the Athlon 64 called Paris, which will not support AMD64 instructions and will also only have 256KB L2 cache. One model that already uses the "Paris" core is the AMD Sempron 3100+.
