AMD today announced a new desktop processor for the mainstream PC market, the 1.3GHz Duron processor, offering best-in-class performance on digital photo, audio and Internet applications.
"With the 1.3GHz AMD Duron processor, AMD delivers tremendous performance to mainstream PC users. DDR memory taps into the processor’s performance potential even further. In tandem, AMD Duron processor-based systems with DDR memory can offer cost-conscious purchasers better performing, more cost-effective PCs than widely available competitive products," said Ed Ellett, vice president of Marketing for AMD’s Computation Products Group.
AMD expects worldwide availability of the 1.3GHz AMD Duron processor through the system builder and direct channels. The 1.3GHz AMD Duron processor is priced at $118 in 1,000-unit quantities.
