AMD Duron vs. Intel Celeron

DeadBugs writes: "With all the hype surrounding the new Athlon XP and P4 2.2 GHz, the more affordable processors have been ignored. Tech-Report has a great article comparing the new AMD Duron and Intel Celeron. Both are now running at 1.2 GHz and have upgraded cache. The new Duron contains XP technology, while the Celeron is a PIII Tulatin with a 100MHz bus and built on the .13 micron process."

  1. XP Technology? by nexex · · Score: 1, Redundant

    If the duron comes with XP technology, does that mean there is a complementary holographic image of Bill Gates on the top of the cpu? Or does it mean you have to "activate" it and if you switch mobo's you have to call AMD to have it unlocked?
