Hi guys
My friend bought a Sempron 2800+ CPU and it's running @ 1.6Ghz. should it run this low?

The Sempron 2800+ pictured above runs at 2GHz, and AMD intends it as a competitor for the Celeron D model 335, whose clock speed is 2.8GHz. Hence the 2800+ model numberThe Socket A Semprons will stretch down to the 2400+ model running at 1.67GHz, but don't think the future of the Sempron is in Socket A. Already, AMD is defining the Sempron's future path by introducing a K8-derived Sempron, the 3100+, that slips into Socket 754 motherboardsAlso, the Socket 754 Sempron's HyperTransport link officially peaks out at 1.6GHz, while newer Athlon 64s support 2GHz HyperTransport speeds.

According to AMD's website :

754-pin/90nm SOI
2800+
1600 MHz
256KB (exclusive)


So yours should run at 1.6ghz.
