Yougang - RE: "Why all of a sudden does AMD handle Duron in such a puzzling fashion?"

I checked AMD's press releases from last year, and the Athlon launch was similar. In late June, AMD announced they were shipping the Athlon, but when the Athlon became available for public consumption in August, AMD didn't do another press release for the Athlon, just for the Athlon 650 which was new at the time. In this week's Thunberbird launch, AMD said they had begun shipping Durons, but that is it.

AMD may have Durons piled up waiting to be shipped, but there may not be enough motherboards to stick them in. If no Duron systems are announced by July we will know motherboards are the hold back. Lynn Comp still says they expect to get Socket A motherboards late this month.
