Chuck - RE: "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." Yup, and you were the one who brought this up first. Duron performs VERY well. And it will be competitive with PIII next year when current Celeron dies away and PIII becomes a low-end processor. (But Celeron name will continue since it will be Timna.) AMD's own sandwich with Duron/Thunderbird begins now. Duron is very important to AMD, and it is just one of the reasons AMD won't die away in 2001, as some people want to think. I can't wait until the integrated chipsets for Duron hit the market!
