From Anandtech, "Other than that, things are considerably quieter than they were last month with all of the video card stuff. Towards the end of this month we should start to hear more from the good ol' CPU world regarding Duron although you won't see a review on AT until another month or so. Just to clear things up a bit, don't expect the AMD Duron (Spitfire) to completely wipe the floor with the current Athlons. So you Athlon owners don't have to worry about your systems being outperformed by a low-cost part, at least on a clock for clock basis. The performance will be close, but not a blowout on the part of the Duron as it seems to have been publicized." Reviews aren't allowed until the product comes out, so this is indirectly saying Duron won't come out until June. As far as its performance, current Athlon owners shouldn't be worried, potential Celeron buyers should be. Duron is going to be quite a bit faster than the Celeron. Suprisingly, no mention of Thunderbird.
