Our Verdict

Not, so long ago we carried out a review on the Duron 700MHz processor and this is what our conclusion was:

"The entry/mid range processor has been a long while coming from AMD, the Duron has made the waiting worthwhile, and in comparison to the 'Coppermine' based Celeron the Duron turns on the heat and you know what they say about heat; 'if you can't take it get out of the kitchen' The Duron is an exclusive design and 'not a cut down version' of its big brother, as such we are sure the Duron will be adopted well, and AMD deserves the recognition the Duron will bring, we have no hesitation in awarding the Duron our One2Surf Excellence award. Well-done AMD."

We have not changed our minds, we are however pleased AMD has added a faster breed to its Duron stable, the 750Mhz processor adds to AMD's credibility, as to whether it's worth opting for the 750MHz processor as opposed to the 700MHz, our benchmarks are there for all to see. Well-done AMD!
