AMD Releases Duron 850

Introduction

The PC businesses wonder. If it ain't the price nor the performance, what could it be? The only reason left is missing attractiveness. I can see it happening to myself as well. I rather spend a lot of money for a new top-notch and super-light mountain bike, dive gear or quality clothing than on another computer system. The performance of my PC is just fine for the work I do and the games I happen to play once in a blue moon. My PC is over a year old! Shocking!

To the PC-business it doesn't matter whatever the reason is. The show must go on and PCs need to sell. The oldest trick in the book is to offer a nicely polished product for a price that is simply irresistible. This brings us to the low-cost systems and hence to the low-cost processors.
