In April of [[1998]] Intel introduced their {{intel|Celeron}} family of processors - a family specifically designed to target the ultra-cheaper computer segment. Duron (still nameless at the time) was marked on [[AMD]]'s roadmap during the Microprocessor Forum in [[1998]]. Almost a year after the introduction of {{amd|Athlon}}, AMD introduced the Duron family. With Celeron, Intel opted to using a single socket ([[Socket 370]]) for both the {{intel|Pentium III}} and {{intel|Celeron}} families. This allowed simplification for OEMs and opens the door for the end user to future upgrades. AMD moved in the same direction, using [[Socket A]] for {{amd|Athlon}} and the new Duron family. | In April of [[1998]] Intel introduced their {{intel|Celeron}} family of processors - a family specifically designed to target the ultra-cheaper computer segment.

− | Unlike original Celeron | + | Unlike original Celeron processors models which were artificially slowed down by Intel (e.g. slower bus speed), Duron processors shared the same specs as Athlon - including the same bus speed of 200 MHz. Additionally, Intel used the same production for both Celeron and Pentium III, disabling various features as needed during the manufacturing process. Unlike Intel, AMD gave Duron a design of its own, the reduced cache for example directly resulted in smaller die size and thus cheaper manufacturing. These differences played fairly well in AMD's advantage - Duron models were cheaper and had superior performance over their Celeron counterparts. |
