I think it is a cripled athlon, similar to a celeron.

It is cheaper. As most low-performance, low-cost solutions are.
Unfortunately CPUs are a moving target and an FAQ written today
would be outdated tomorrow. Bets to read tests on sites like
tomshardware to get an idea about the details.

The 3100 is the only 64 bit chip in the sempron family. It is a great cpu
for the money. comparable to an A64 2800+.

OOps. made a mistake here. 64 bit is disabled on the 3100 sempron. It does
have the on-die memory controller and it's the only 754 pin sempron. Still a
very goo deal.

Seems this is a more complicated question than I thought. Sorry
for my initial misstatement.
