AMD Duron

by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 19, 2000 12:00 PM EST

Since the Duron has the same Athlon core at its heart, the High End performance of the chip is definitely respectable and although it is penalized somewhat for its smaller cache size here, the 700MHz part is performing almost as well as the Athlon 700.

The Celeron performs horribly under High End Winstone 2000 simply because of its 66MHz FSB limitation, and even if Intel released a 1GHz Celeron the fact that it has a 66MHz FSB and memory bus will always cripple its performance to lower than that of the Duron. The Celeron 850/100 on the other hand is quite competitive with the Duron running at 700MHz. There is no doubt that a faster Duron would outperform the 850MHz overclocked Celeron but it would cost more at the same time.
