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.

Unlike original Celeron processor models which were artificially slowed down by Intel (e.g. slower bus speed), Duron processors shared the same specs as Athlon - including a higher speed of 100 MHz bus DDR (200 MT/s). 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.
