AMD Duron 750

Overclocking

Overclocking the Duron is governed by the same limitations as the Thunderbird; for more information on adjusting the clock multiplier of the Duron, read our 1.1GHz Thunderbird Review and our AMD Overclocking Investigation.

There have still been reports of Durons being shipped without the multiplier pins present on the CPU. We are still waiting to come across some of these CPUs, and when we do, we will keep you all updated on the situation.

Test Notes

• Due to the recall of the processor, we have stopped including 1.13GHz Pentium III scores.
• In order to remain focused on the Duron price range, we have only included CPUs clocked at 900MHz and lower in this comparison
• For purposes of simplifying the graphs, the 133MHz FSB Pentium III scores are taken on an i815E platform. The performance of the Pentium III on the i815E is close enough to the performance of the same processor on a VIA 133A or BX133 platform that it warrants the removal of the other two platforms from the comparison.
• The RC5 benchmark will return in our next major CPU review with updated performance scores using the latest RC5 core.
