AMD Duron Applebred vs. Athlon XP Thoroughbred

CPU by piotke @ 2003-10-07

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.

  • Conclusion

    There is no clear winner in this benchmark. The difference you see in these tests, is too small to call really accurate.

    Lets take a look at one of the most popular benchmarks, the well-known 3d mark 2001.
