How long til socket 754 is concidered out of the times?

[jagnorm]

How long til the socket 754 becomes like my socket A which seems to be becoming a thing of the past soon.

It wont be for a few yrs because of the Amd Athlon 64 754 sockets cpu and the 3100+ Sempron is 754, and soo there will be more 754 socket semprons so to answer not for awhile, well that atleast my opinion

[||Console||]

I dont know about a thing of the past for eather socket a or 754 , they brought out Semp's for 754 they will prob be around 4 a while , And i dont consider my AXP out of date i still havnt seen a a64 Kill my scores

I have an AMD 2500, and I love it.
But I seem to see a trend that the socket A that it sits on is going to be a thing of the past, Soon.

Socket 754 processors will definitely remain in production through at least the first half of 2005. Palermo is a socket 754 chip scaling to rataing of 4000+ 3.2GHz (2005).

However, socket 754 may survive well into 2006. AMD recently pulled socket 939 Sempron chips off its public roadmap, but an internal roadmap I have seen still shows a socket 939 Sempron shipping during the first half of 2005. It appears the marketing and engineering sections may not be in agreement, so who know's until the next official public roadmap is published?

Socket 754 debuted on September 23, 2003. The architecture has already likely reached its peak production. It has been around a relatively long considering AMD has already transitioned the bulk of the Athlon 64 line to the socket 939 format.

Don't know if this should be in a separate post, but would you recomend the amd 3100+ socket 754 to a customer as a quality uptodate budget proccesor?

Yes, the Sempron 3100+ is a good budget processor for the price - usually around $100-125. If building a system, it is prefered over the similarly priced Athlon XP 3000+. You will have hard time beating the price-to-performance ration of the Sempron 3100+ in the entry-level segment.

The performance jump when moving to the Socket 754 platform is immediately noticable. The Memory and Multi-Media Benchmarks are much improved, so the Socket 754 Sempron could potentially compete in the performance market against the Pentium 4, instead of the Celeron.

The Sempron 3100+ Socket 754 truly represents where AMD is leading the budget processor market in the future. AMD has provided an unbeatable price/performance ratio with the 3100+. TWL was able to overclock the 3100+ to a stable 2160mhz, which shows that this CPU can, and will, be overclocked. Running at a default 1.4vcore, this CPU has a lot of room to grow. At stock speeds, the 3100+ is a budget consumer processor that can compete with the Pentium 4, at a price that can't be touched for its performance. The potential for the Socket 754 Sempron to be used as an inexpensive gateway to future 64-bit processor upgrades also provides an amazing opportunity to budget-minded enthusiasts.

To answer jagnorm's question wut is this person gonna upgrade from?
