  AMD Duron
The Duron is pin-compatible with the Athlon and virtually indistinguishable from it, operating on the same motherboards in most cases.
The second-generation Duron, the "Morgan" core, is sold in speed grades between 1000 and 1300 MHz, and is based on the Athlon XP "Palomino" core.
AMD plans to discontinue the Duron line sometime in 2003, when the x86-64 "Hammer" processors will push the Athlon into the low-end market.

 Review: AMD Duron CPU and Micro-Star International MSI-6330 motherboard
And AMD's joining the party with the Duron, a high-performance low-cost CPU that is to the seriously fast Athlon pretty much as the Celerons are to the Pentium II and III.
AMD are less likely to start loudly pointing out that the Thunderbird and Duron both have a 64 bit wide cache data path, versus the 256 bit wide path in the Coppermine chips.
And the Duron is quite a lot cheaper than the Celeron, and the Celeron is quite a bit slower than the P-III, but the Duron isn't very much slower than the Athlon, so if she weighs the same as a duck, she's a witch.

  AMD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2005, AMD won an antitrust suit against Intel in Japan, and on June 27, 2005, AMD filed a similar antitrust complaint against Intel in the U.S. District Court in Delaware.
AMD later produced the 80286, or 286, under the same arrangement, but then Intel cancelled the agreement in 1986, and refused to hand over technical details of the i386 part.
AMD is also loosely partnered with end-user companies such as HP, Compaq, Alienware, ACER, and several others in the area of processor distribution.

 CPU-World: AMD Duron processor
AMD Duron processor is a low-cost CPU based on the K7 architecture.
The first generation of Duron processors used Spitfire core, which is similar to the Athlon Thunderbird core with the exception of L2 cache - the Duron had 64 KB L2 cache while the Athlon had 256 KB cache.
The next Duron core - Applebred - was used in the last three processors from the Duron family.

 Ars Technica: AMD Duron - Page 1 - (6/2000)
AMD K6-2 systems could be bought for as low as $800 back in the day when an entry-level Pentium II system was pretty much guaranteed to run you between $1500 and $2000.
The L1 cache on the Duron hasn't changed from the Athlon (for more info on the Athlon's L1 cache and design in general, dig this article Hannibal wrote), nor has the core.
The L2 cache on the Duron is only 64k (as opposed to the 512k that the Athlon has, and the 256k that the Athlon "Thunderbird" has).

 AMD's Duron 1.3GHz processor - The Tech Report - Page 1
The revamped Duron and Celeron processors from AMD and Intel, respectively, might just live up to their callings.
Really, the new element this brings to the Duron line is a multiplier of 13—and the 1300MHz clock speed that comes with it.
Otherwise, Duron 1.3GHz is very similar to its 1.2GHz and 1.1GHz predecessors.

 LinuxHardware.org | AMD Duron 850 Review
AMD's Duron processor is only a slightly "dummied down" version of their top-of-the-line Thunderbird.
While the Duron is certainly cheaper, and has fewer transistors due to its smaller L2 cache, it is otherwise identical to the Athlon.
Further proof of this is that the overclocked Duron was unable to beat the 850 Athlon.

 AMD Athlon Thunderbird, Duron overclocking. AMD overclocking.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Overclocking of the AMD Athlon Thunderbird and Duron cpu processors is the same as other Athlon cpu processor is quite easy and quick.
Basically all you need to overclock your Athlon Thunderbird, Duron cpu processor is a motherboard that supports changing the FSB and multiplier settings in either its bios or by using motherboard dip switches, and changing the voltage settings of your AMD cpu processor if necessary.
Overclock this Duron setting to the 1.70 volts would be a good setting if you are going for the higher speeds of Athlon processor.

 AMD Duron 1100 Mhz - Unlocking the Potential - hardCOREware.net
Although it is considered a budget CPU, the Duron has always shared pretty much the exact same architecture as its older brother, the Athlon.
Since the Duron was introduced in early 2000, it slaughtered its only competition in nearly every case.
Expect speeds of the new Duron to be somewhere between our 1.1 Ghz at stock FSB and our 1.2 Ghz at 266 FSB in terms of performance.

 Review - AMD Duron // PC /// Eurogamer
With the Duron, AMD use the same process as they do with the Thunderbird Athlons, giving them the same FSB and memory bus speed; 100MHz DDR, effectively three times that of the Celeron.
However, although the Duron is an impressive beast in itself and not just a "PIII reject" ala the Celeron, the question of its relative performance is still outstanding.
AMD can't do much about the latter, but it looks as though the first three are in check.

 AMD Replacing Duron with Sempron   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
AMD (Quote, Chart) is preparing for a new entry-level chip family it hopes will help compete with Intel's Celeron processors.
The new brand -- AMD Sempron -- was designed for both desktop and mobile PCs and should be readily available in the second half 2004, the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company said in a statement Monday.
AMD would not discuss the details of the Sempron products, but its is believed it will be derived from K8 (Athlon64), with less cache and probably without 64-bit extensions that are the core function of the company's Athlon XP desktop and mobile processors.

 HEXUS.net : Review : AMD Duron 900 : Page - 1/1
AMD have always been competitive on price, and I believe that they are dedicated to making sure that Intel will always be the expensive partner.
AMD know that their cores run hot at the moment, but with the introduction of the new cores which should run 20% cooler, and the Palomino not even needing a fan on the heatsink, this will make a big difference!
AMD still do not "run" their own chipsets and most of the time people are happy to run VIA chipsets, even though VIA do not have the world's widest and favourable name.

 How to Install an AMD Athlon or Duron Socket A Processor
Many AMD Socket A Athlon and Duron processors are damaged during installation.
Due to these differences, the AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors should NEVER be run without a heatsink, not even for a few seconds.
Also, improper installation of the heatsink on the processor can exert too much force on the CPU (Central Processing Unit or Processor) die (the little rectangular thing in the middle of the processor--the actual chip) and damage it--crack the stuff holding it to the rest of the processor.

 HardwareCentral - Reviews - AMD Duron Review - Introduction
Ever since the introduction of Intel’s Pentium, AMD found itself playing catch-up, first with the K5, then the K6, and K6-2, none of which were able to achieve the level of performance of their Pentium counterparts.
The only AMD processor up to that point that was capable of giving the equivalent Intel processor a run for its money was the K6-III, which proved to be too expensive for the masses.
AMD introduced a low-end variant of the Athlon called the Duron to compete with Intel’s Celeron.

The only real difference between the Duron and the new Athlon is the size of that exclusive L2-cache, which is only 64 KB instead of 256 KB.
Both the Duron and the New Athlon have been launched, and I can tell you that the new socket A motherboards are much more interesting than the first slot A boards.
Unfortunately, while AMD has no problem supplying the Duron and Thunderbird (up to 900 MHz) in large volume, there are not enough socket A motherboards right now.
