TWY, Re: "I think it should reach at least 1.8GHz on the .13um UMC process which should make it very competitive relative to Tualitan which I doubt will reach past 1.5GHz" You're probably right. The Duron is still produced on AMD's "real" .18u process in their Austin fab, so it should have a lot of headroom going to .13u. However, by the time AMD gets to it on their current roadmap, Intel will be close to launching those Willamette based Celerons. I wonder how they would stack up to the Duron, since in the value market, consumers are even more convinced that megahertz equals performance. Depending on how well UMC's process is, a Willamette based Celeron may actually lead in frequency, if not processing power. Then AMD would have to move Quantispeed to their Duron line, which may be interesting. wbmw
