In order to accurately compare one processor against another, it would be nice to know the EXACT Celeron and Sempron. Sometimes there are "reviews" on the internet which describes testing that was done on each processor.
You'll always get those individuals that have a strong preference for one brand versus another...In my case, I like to compare the entire computer package as a whole...The processor is only one part of the deal..
Hope this helps and let us know more.

I repeated this in this forum hoping to quick a quick response!!
I'm looking for a comp in the smaller local stores trying to save money rather than go to the big box guys...and this salesman has been pushing the AMD semphron..saying that it is better than the Intel celeron, Is this true? He says that any low-end AMD processor will definately beat the performance of any Intel low end processor. Um, what do you think of that. Where should I go to save money, the smal neighborhood pc stores, or just go to bestbuy or circuitcity?? Intel or AMD ??? I apreciate any responses you guys have
