Recently I gave an overview of the different Intel processors. Intel's competitor is AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). AMD has been known for some time by gamers as the processor to own. AMD is not only a good gaming processor but has the power to run almost any application with the same performance as Intel's processors. This article gives you a brief overview of the processors AMD offers and the what they was designed for.
AMD Sempron
This the everyday computing processor designed for the low end or affordable computer. It wasn't designed to be a gaming processor or a super multitasking computer. It was designed for the person who wants affordable computing solution and doesn't want to break the bank. This processor will run just about any application but it wasn't designed to handle heavy multitasking loads. You will find this processor in cheaper low end models of desktops and laptops. If you did not need a computer to do many things at once this would be the processor for you.
AMD Athlon 64
This is the a step up from the Sempron. This processor was designed to do just about anything although it still is not really a gaming processor until you get into the Dual Core processor line. This processor was designed for the average user who does multitasking and uses multiple applications. This processor is still affordable and you would find this processor in your low to mid range computer price levels.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core and X2 Dual-Core
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core is designed for the laptop where the X2 Dual-Core is for the desktop. This processor gives you 80% performance boost over the Athlon 64. Which means you can do more things in less time. Its like two processors in one doing the work for you. This processor will do multiple applications without any waiting or slow downs. This is a processor with muscle that will handle just about any computing job for the individual user. The only thing it can't do is be server its designed for the individual user.

I really enjoyed reading this Timothy. I have always loved the AMD line but I haven't been keeping up on their newer processors (nor can I afford them). A very important resource!
Thanks, this is solid info!
