=== {{amd|Argon}} core ===
The {{amd|Argon}},  released in 1999,  uses {{amd|Slot A}}, has a double data rate [[front side bus]] operating at 100 MHz (having an effective bus speed of 200 MHz). Argon microprocessors were manufactured in 250 nm process.

The {{amd|Pluto}} core-based microprocessors were released in late 1999 and early 2000 and use {{amd|Slot A}}. They have a double data rate [[front side bus]] operating at 100 MHz (having an effective bus speed of 200 MHz). Pluto microprocessors were manufactured in 180 nm process.
