AMD Sempron (2600+ - ) | | olspan=2| This article is part of the CPU socket series | Socket 754 was originally developed by AMD to succeed its powerful Athlon XP platform (Socket 462, also referred to as "Socket A"). Socket 754 was the first socket developed by AMD to support their new consumer version of the 64 bit microprocessor family known as AMD64 (Previous documents will show you x86-64 as a similar technology, they are infact one and the same). Socket 754 is budget-minded socket, for use with AMD Athlon 64 or Sempron processors . Compared to Socket 939, it features: - support for a single channel memory controller (64-bits wide) with maximum of 3 DIMMs
- lower HyperTransport speed (800 MHz Bi-Directional, 16 bit data path, up and downstream)
- lower effective data bandwidth (9.6 GB/s)
- low cost motherboard manufacturing cost
In comparison to its newer sibling, Socket 939, its only main difference is Socket 754's lack of dual channel memory support. Socket 754 will continue to drive sales for AMD's value processor, the Sempron and single channel memory versions of the Athlon 64.
