AMD Athlon 1000B

Introduced on June 5, 2000 along with all S462 Athlon models between 600MHz and 1000MHz. You would pay a high premium for owning the fastest CPU back in 2000 if you bought this CPU. It's 'new price' was $990! If you opted for the 900MHz model you would just pay $589. Almost 50% saved .

Notice that this Athlon 1000 is often named Athlon 1000B. This is due the fact that the Athlon 1000 is available in different configurations:
1. Athlon 1000: the original slot A version.
2. Athlon 1000B: the first version on socket A with 100MHz (DDR200) FSB.
3. Athlon 1000C: socket A version with 133MHz (DDR266) FSB.
