AMD introduces new processors
AMD today presented two new processors with which one wants to demonstrate once again the technical superiority over Intel. The new products are a 1.2GHz Athlon with a Thunderbird core and a Duron with a clock frequency of 800MHz.
Both do not differ in steppings from their predecessors and therefore have the same errors .
Clock frequency previous price new price Athlon 1.2 GHz - 612 US dollars Athlon 1.1 GHz 853 US dollars 460 $ 612 Athlon 1 GHz $ 612 $ 350 Athlon 950 MHz $ 460 $ 282 Athlon 900 MHz $ 350 $ 215 Athlon 850 MHz $ 282 $ 193 Duron 800 MHz - 170 US dollars Duron 750 MHz 181 US dollars 112 US dollars Duron 700 MHz 138 US dollars 88 US dollars
Both processors are intended for socket A and are used with the bad 100MHz FSB operated. Since the cooling of processors, especially models above 1GHz, is a major concern, AMD has published a list that provides information on which coolers are suitable up to which clock frequency.
