AMD Introduces Duron Processor Apr 27, 2000 (Tech Web - CMP via COMTEX) -- NEW ORLEANS -- Advanced Micro Devices today rolled out its new low-cost processor family, dubbed Duron -- which takes its meaning from the Latin root "to last." According to AMD executives, "Duron" suggests a name that's "lasting, dependable, reliable, and stable." AMD's Duron will compete with the Celeron from Intel (stock: INTC), a chip whose name is taken from the Latin root "celere," which means "fast." Duron is the brand name AMD (stock: AMD) has adopted for its K6 product generation and the forthcoming Spitfire line. AMD said the Spitfire family will ship in June. At the same time, AMD decided not to use "Athlon Professional" as the brand name for its workstation-class chips, while extending the "Athlon Ultra" brand across the server and workstation space.
