Duron 800 Test und Zukunft

<a href="http://www.gamepc.com/reviews/hardware_review.asp?review=duron800&page=1" target="blank">GamePC</a> hat einen Duron 800 getestet. Das er schneller als der Celli ist war zu erwarten, aber lest mal dies:

"New Stepping
The Duron 800 chips are being manufactured with a new core stepping, that being Duron Model 3. Model 3 of the Duron has some interesting characteristics, the most interesting being the option to manufacture the Durons with 128k of L2 cache, as opposed to 64k. AMD's Product Marking Identification Guide for the Duron m.3 has a stepping code for Durons with 128k of L2 cache, which would bring the entire cache of the chip up to 256k, right on par with Intel's Coppermine Pentium III processors. While the Duron 800's currently have 64k of L2, this strongly hints that future Duron chips may be equipped with more cache at higher clock speeds.
At this point, we can only publish this information as speculation from reading AMD's documents, no official information has been brought to light about Durons with larger amounts of cache. So take it with a grain of salt."


Ein Duron mit 128kb Cache!!! http://overclockers.gamers.at/ubb/smile.gif
