What type of processor is the Sempron?

  1. 32-bit only

  2. 64-bit only

  3. AMD 64-bit, formerly 32-bit

  4. Intel 64-bit

The correct answer is: AMD 64-bit, formerly 32-bit

The Sempron processor is a type of processor manufactured by AMD which is capable of running both 32-bit and 64-bit instructions. Option A is incorrect because the Sempron is not limited to only 32-bit processing. Option B is incorrect because the Sempron can also handle 64-bit instructions. Option D is incorrect because it references Intel processors, while the Sempron is manufactured by AMD. Option C is the best answer as it accurately describes the type of processor the Sempron is - an AMD processor that was formerly 32-bit but is now capable of handling 64-bit instructions.
