Are Tbird and Duron mustang cores? Did anyone notice the inference in this discussion? I'd like to go over very quickly here some of the elements of our CPU roadmap this year. We talked about the enhanced Athlon core that we will introduce in this year. We will have several versions, a version that is targeted for the performance desktop space, as well as a version that is targeted for the value space. We have recently introduced the brand of that processor called the AMD Duron. Previously it leaked out our code name, which was Spitfire, and this product will be introduced along with our Athlon version as well coming up here this year. We will also introduce a version of this core that will be optimized for workstations and servers. This will have a very large on chip L2 cache. In addition we will have a mobile version which we are calling Corvette, which will be optimized for state-of-the-art performance and battery life performance in a mobile environment. This clearly implies that duron will have this "enhanced" core. Is there more than one mustang core? Perhaps an early mustang could explain the wild 1.5GHz rumors?
