AMD Duron Applebred vs. Athlon XP Thoroughbred
AMD Duron Applebred vs. Athlon XP Thoroughbred
Recently AMD introduced its new durons. I bought one of them, the 1.6 ghz version. The most interesting part of this cpu is its core voltage, only 1.5 V.
This cpu begged to be compared with an Athlon XP, dlt3c (known for reaching speeds up to 2700Mhz!). Is the new Duron an equally good overclocker ? Maybe even better ? Find out in this review.

  Introduction: Duron Applebred, come again?

The Applebred is the new revision of the Duron series from AMD. It is a tuned down Thoroughbred B CPU being sold at a lower price. Its primairy market is South America and Eastern Europe where cheap CPU's are more important high performance ones.

They are made in AMD's LAB 25 in Austin Texas, using the same die size, cpuid, voltage, etc as the TbredB. The only main difference is the FSB which is limited to 266Mhz and the L2 cache at 64Kb. The new Durons will run on any motherboard that accepts TbredB CPU's.

The new Applebred will be marketed with real clocks, not performance ratings. This suggest that the limited onboard L2 cache limits the performance. There are 3 different versions available: 1400Mhz, 1600Mhz and 1800Mhz. In this review I will be using the 1600Mhz version.
