AMD readies launch of Sempron 3300+ 754

IT'S NO SECRET that AMD is set to convert all of its cut down Sempron microprocessors to a 754 pin format during the course of this year.

But our information is that a 754 pin Sempron 3300+ is rolling out this quarter, while it will also produce a Sempron 3200+ using 939 pins for certain accounts only.

How imminent is the 754 pin 3300+? Some motherboard companies have already released updates to 754 board BIOSes during this week.

So we suspect it's not that far off. We also understand that AMD will roll out a series of road shows this March demonstrating its dual core processors.

And it will use the CeBIT show in Hannover, Germany, to show off versions of machines using dual core commercial machines, as it cranks up this particular campaign.

It will use a number of events between March and June to underline its dual core message. µ
