AMD Mobile Duron 1200

Released on January 30th of 2002 for use in budget notebooks. Partly due it's low 1.5V vCore it fits within a TDP (Thermal Design Point) of 25W.

I have questions regarding the core of this CPU. It appears to have the same 'die' as the Palomino (used for the Athlon XP and Mobile Athlon 4). I'm unsure if this CPU uses a real Palomino core (with disabled cache) or that it uses the 'Camaro' core. Often you'll find references to a 'Camaro' core for the second generation Mobile Duron's but I'm unsure if this name is correct. I tend to treat this CPU as a Palomino CPU rather than Camaro.

I remember that this CPU (due it's unusual form; a Palomino shaped core but marked as Duron) was an item of discussion in it's day. Before it's release a picture popped up on a forum which was highly debated for it's authenticity. Back then it was stated it was a fake picture but it turned out to be the real deal.
