  • Page 6: Overview

    Introduction Overview AMD Duron & Athlon Processors The AMD Athlon is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These processors implement advanced design techniques such as: Socket A (PGA 462) 200/266MHz system interface based on the Alpha™...

  • Page 7: Accelerated Graphics Port

    Introduction The AMD Duron processor is derived from the AMD Athlon processor core. It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200MHz front side system bus, and enhanced 3DNow!™ technology. Although both processors are related, there are key differences. The AMD Athlon processor is targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory and higher clock speeds.
