AMD Sempron SDA2800BOX 1-core AM2
Built on a 130nm Thoroughbred core with a 333 MHz FSB and 256KB L2 cache, this single-core 2.0GHz processor targets basic Socket A systems. It includes a boxed cooler and operates at a 62W TDP, making it a straightforward drop-in upgrade for aging DDR-based desktops. This chip is best for retro PC builders restoring Windows XP-era machines, not for any modern productivity or gaming workloads.
