Posted by Avogadro @ 18:09 -

AMD has announced their Duron line of processors, which will compete at the low end against the Intel Celeron. It's going to run at 200 MHz front side bus! Here's a part of their press release:

About the AMD Duron(TM) Processor Family Name

Derived from the Latin roots ``durare,'' meaning ``to last,'' and ``-on'', meaning ``unit,'' the AMD Duron processor name was selected because it conveys the attributes embodied by a product designed to prolong the life of a buyer's investment.

About the AMD Duron Processor
