AMD has always stated there would be new cores.
Austin K75 is dead.

Yes but the presenter uses the singular in describing the new "core," and then goes on to talk about the "versions" of that core. If accurate, I think it's very significant. It was my impression that Thunderbird and Spitfire were just the Athlon core with a new on-die cache. My understanding was that Mustang was a revision of the core logic, perhaps removing some pipeline stages (according to Hans) and other changes to increase the speed and lower the power. This is much more significant than just changing the cache subsystem.

It might have been a mistake on the presenter's part, but he seems to indicate that Duron will use this new core.
