AMD Releases Duron 850

Benchmark Results

The results in BAPCo's good old Sysmark2000 show Duron outperforming Intel's new Celeron 800 flagship from Duron 750 onwards. Duron 850 is also almost as fast as an Athlon 750.

In Quake 3 Arena Duron benefits from its better FPU compared to Celeron 800, so that even the cheapest Duron at 600 MHz is already providing a better 3D-gaming performance than Celeron 800.Again, Duron 850 is pretty close to Athlon 750.
