Dan,

<Duron 650 looks about equal to a Pentium III 750

chip.de >

I am sure we will see many benchmarks in some of which the Duron will be ahead of PIII and on some it will be behind PIII. As we have long discussed on this thread, AMD has set Spitfire to compete with PIII at the low-end. There was no reason to add the 64k L2 if Celeron was the target.

But, the benchmarks going slightly one way or the other do not really matter since MHz matters more than raw performance. Let the fireworks begin!
