AMD Duron Vs Thunderbird Article
Athlon OC have put together an article looking at the differences between AMDs current flagship CPU the Thunderbird and the Celeronesque Duron. Here’s a snippet:
“Well guys we ALL know the Duron is a sweet performer for the price. The big thing AMD is doing to prevent the low cost Duron from cutting into the much more expensive Thunderbirds high end market share is keeping the Duron
clocked considerably lower than the high end Tbird. The Duron also only has 128k L2 cache in comparison to the Tbirds 256k. Ok now what exactly does this mean? That’s what I’m hoping to show you here.”
This is a huge read weighing in at 14 pages though there are quite a few benchmark graphs padding out that rather hefty page count.
It’s an informative read for anyone considering an alternative to the Intel chipsets.
