Intel Celeron E3300 = ?

You pretty much said it. It's pretty much similar to a dual-core Sempron or low end dual-core Athlon.
I'm not aware of any dual core sempron's, those are all singles.
It's very comparable to an Athlon II 240 X2, clock for clock. But the E3300 is a better overclocker. A 240 would struggle to hit 4ghz, and E3300 would hit 4.2-4.4 with good air cooling no problem.
I had an E3200, and it scored the same in benchmarks as my Athlon II 245 when clocked the same. However, the E3200 I got to 4.2 ghz, the 245 only made it to 3.9ghz. So I would pick an E3300 celeron over the comparable AMD cpu anyday.

Damn... Gives me a bit to think about, and yes they do sell Dual-Core Semprons

Wow thats weird I've never seen of heard of that before. But the E3300 would stomp that chip into the ground, the Athlon II would whip it bad as well. That sempron is older 65nm architecture, like the original Athlon's. It also has very low cache, only 256kb per core is really crappy (with no L3).
