The AMD Sempron 3000+ was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in September 2004. It is part of the Sempron lineup, using the Barton architecture with Socket A. Sempron 3000+ has 512 KB of L2 cache and operates at 2000 MHz. AMD is building the Sempron 3000+ on a 130 nm production process using 63 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Sempron 3000+, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 62 W, the Sempron 3000+ consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability. Many games will refuse to start on this processor due to the lack of the SSE2/SSE3/SSE4 instruction set.
