also, the P4 is not comparable to a sempron, semprons are cut down bartons.
Clock for clock, the Thoroughbred and Barton AthlonXP's outdid the P4's, but once Intel started producing 2.5ghz+ processors, the K7 cores couldn't keep up anymore. which is why AMD dropped development of the K7 3400+ and pushed funds into K8 development.
rumour has it that there are some 3400+ samples out there however... it'd be pretty valuable to pick one up.
