The Sempron is the new Duron, duRON ... sempRON, It's AMD's budget range of processors.
For general CPU usage (i.e. not just gaming) a Sempron 2800 is slightly faster than the Athlon XP 2500, whereas the Athlon XP 2800 outclasses it easily (mind you, so does the Celeron 335 in a lot of gaming tests). It's sit's performance wise somewhere between the Duron and the Athlon XP.
