Marty Seyer, corporate vice president and general manager, Microprocessor Business Unit, at AMD, said: "Along with increasing internet usage comes the potential for greater exposure to viruses, so AMD has equipped all the Mobile AMD Sempron processors with cutting-edge security for protection and peace of mind."
Notebook PCs based on the Sempron 3000+ are expected from Packard Bell and Gericom in time for the holiday shopping season. The processor is priced at $134 in 1,000-unit quantities.
