Pravin,

<Because 1 Ghz has such a nice ring to it! >

But Celeron will also have the same nice ring to it!

<Combine this with hardware prefetch and SSE support and you have a value proposition that I think will generate interest. >

With XP and application software becoming optimized for SSE, SSE support should payoff but I don't know if hardware prefetch does any good with 64k L2 cache.

<Should be a great laptop chip. >

I like the current Duron laptop chips which are based on the Palomino core for operations and bin-split reasons!

<Also, dual Morgans can probably be used with Tyans lower cost AthlonMP board (the one without SCSI and the dual NICs) to make a cheap, but powerful, dual processor system.>

True! Assuming some low-cost motherboards showup soon, I can see a lot of interest from the low-end server segment but if Tyan Thunder is the only board then Duron ain't getting anywhere.

<But, it might matter if it benches favorably when compared to 1.5 Ghz P4 on i845>

As far as I can tell, for the near term, Duron's competition is Celeron.

By the time Duron competes against P4 we are talking about Appaloosa and Northwood competing using UMA chipsets with DDR. I doubt if that battle can be won by AMD unless Hammer showsup by then.
