Sry. i am a bit lazy to post it in my blog, but that ‘news’ seems to be a hoax or at least a very ‘old one’. AMD has long ago ago announced the AMD Sempron Processor Model 2100+, which is exact the processor, you and those sources are talking about ;). http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/DownloadableAssets/9W_Sempron_FINAL_5.23.pdf
