Duron
The Duron is an AMD CPU that competes with Intel's Celeron. The Duron operates with clock frequencies between 600 MHz and 950 MHz, but has a smaller L2 cache of 64 KB in contrast to the Athlon.
The Duron consists of 25 million transistors and an integration density of 180 nm, which corresponds to Extra Large Scale Integration( ELSI). The Dice has a size of 106 qmm. In the early years, the codename Spitfire was used for the CPU core, then later Applebred and Morgan. In the Spitfire version introduced in 2000, which was derived from the Thunderbird core, the Duron had a 128 KB L1 cache and a 64 KB L2 cache.
With the Morgan core, the clock frequency could be increased to 1.3 GHz. In this 2001 version, the CPU core was expanded by 180,000 transistors. The front side bus has a clock frequency of 200 MHz. In addition, the Morgan-Duron and the later Applebred-Duron have 3DNow and the StreamingSIMDExtension( SSE) instruction set extension. It is operated with a supply voltage of 1.75 V, thus belongs to the LV processors, and has a maximum power consumption of 46 W.
The Applebred version has a clock rate of up to 1.8 GHz, as well as a higher integration density compared to the Spitfire version with a structure width of 130 nm and a front side bus with 133 MHz. The Duron CPU is in a ceramic CPGA package and has Socket A as the CPU socket.
