Appaloosa was AMD's core name for a planned third generation Duron microprocessors, a successor to Morgan. Appaloosa was announced in 2002 but never officially released although some chips appear to have entered the market. AMD eventually released a different set of chips based on Applebred instead. Appaloosa was set to be based on the K7 microarchitecture and was intended to be manufactured on AMD's newer 130 nm process
