Single core AMD Sempron

[Blaze02]

Pulled this out of my neighbors old computer she still used when it died. Surprisingly before it died it was fairly quick (all things considered). Is there any use for it anymore? (The cpu is fine the motherboard died. There were many components coming loose from years of it being moved around.)

Not really. That thing will not work well with a modern OS of even Linux. You'll have to be using a really stripped-down distro. To put into perspective, a Pentium 4 HT system runs like ass on Windows 10 and even more so on Ubuntu. A chip that is quite a long way ahead of a Sempron of the same vintage.

That's an extremely low end CPU from over 16 years ago. It would struggle with basically any modern tasks, and it doesn't even have the benefit of SMT to give it an extra thread. It's basically just e-waste at this point, or you could use it as a piece of art if you wanted.

Run Cinebench on it. You might die of old age before it finishes, but your Great Reward will be that much sweeter for your suffering.

A trophy case.

It's fairly behind the times, but there may be people here who like to collect legacy hardware.

Yep - I'm one that likes popping things like that in my older boards (DFI's) and clocking the snot out of them.
That is a 939 chip from the model data string, date and stepping and at least has the better E6 stepping too.

Might be able to get a few bucks on fleabay for it but for any practical use these days it's not what you'd want by any means. It's also a very commonly found chip so there isn't anything special about it, it's just a standard Socket 939 Sempron chip.

Drill a hole in it and you've got a keychain.

Shit if you wanna sell it, PM me.

That's modern hardware for some of us

Yeah, I'm aware some are still running XP with Cyrix M-IIs, by some miracle.
