All objects with Spitfire chip
Released on 19 June, 2000 as budget CPU. It is based on the AMD Athlon 'Thunderbird' but has less L2-cache and a slower front-side-bus. Because the Duron had a big L1-cache (128KB, just like the Athlon) it still performed very good. AMD compared these features to Intel's Celeron on their product page to emphasize that the AMD Duron was the better product (and despite the propaganda, the Duron clearly was the better product of the two). The 'Spitfire' was only available in the then new ceramic S462 package. Spitfire is the first generation and is succeeded by the Duron 'Morgan'. |
