Innovative Architecture With the introduction
of the AMD Duron processor, value-minded buyers
now have access to technology that stands
out among that of other processors in its
class. Some of the AMD Duron processor's innovative
features include:
High-Speed
System Bus: The AMD Duron processor features
a 266MHz front side system bus, offering four
times more available bus bandwidth than that
of Intel's Celeron processor (66MHz). This
high-speed system bus delivers superior performance
on data-rich applications, such as MP3 players
and rippers, softDVD players, and video-editing
packages. Moreover, it has the headroom to
support high-bandwidth peripherals-as well
as other emerging technologies-without a performance
penalty.
Sophisticated
Cache Architecture: The sophisticated cache
architecture of the AMD Duron processor features
192KB of total on-chip cache-20% more than
is available on Intel's Celeron. This larger
on-chip cache combined with the sophisticated
cache architecture, delivers superior performance
on many applications including business and
personal productivity suites, photo-editing
packages, and web-design tools.
Superscalar
Floating Point Unit with Enhanced 3DNow!T
Technology: The AMD Duron processor offers
three floating point pipelines while Intel's
Celeron offers only one. This outstanding
number-crunching capability, in concert with
AMD's enhanced 3DNow!T multimedia technology,
enables the AMD Duron processor to deliver
superior performance on applications that
feature multimedia and floating point content.
Examples of these applications include web-design
tools, as well as many of today's entertainment
and edutainment products.
A
Workhorse without Peer Employing all the benefits
of its innovative design, the AMD Duron processor
meets the requirements of today's most demanding
value-conscious buyers without compromising
their budget. At home, the AMD Duron processor
provides a rewarding computing experience
for users surfing the Internet, or working
with personal productivity, education and
entertainment applications. At the office,
the AMD Duron processor provides the framework
for improving business productivity by offering
an ideal combination of performance and cost-effectiveness.
The
AMD Duron processor offers value-minded home
users truly innovative technology that will
help enable their computer system investment
to last for years to come. In addition, the
AMD Duron processor helps prolong the life
of the mainstream business investment by satisfying
the demands of the current and future e-business
environment. For home or business users, an
investment in an AMD Duron processor-based
system just makes good sense.
