AMD has released prices of its Sempron processors, including the 64-bit lineups featuring the Socket-754 architecture. AMD Taiwan has indicated that Socket-A models are more expensive than the Socket-754 ones in the price list because it hopes to accelerating the transition between the architectures.

Sources at motherboard makers hinted that the prices of the AMD 64-bit Sempron CPUs will be higher than those for Intel’s 64-bit Celeron lineup after July 24, when the chip giant has scheduled a price drop. Currently, unit prices of Intel 64-bit Celeron processors are higher than the equivalent AMD 64-bit Sempron models.

    Socket 754 isnt going anywhere for awhile. Its going to be the budget socket for awhile I think. At least for Pre-built systems I would guess.
