Am I blind or does it say the Model 8 Duron at 1.80GHz has only 64KB of L2 Cache??? LOL

If it does, man, that will hurt performance..

It's basically going to have the same performance decrease that the old Durons did. Not much. I'm going to buy one. I want to see how they O/C.

The chip is going to be a Tbred with either cut down or disabled L2 cache. The dimension of Tbred and the Duron die seem exactly the same, this could be if they are just disabling the cache and selling them as durons. Pretty much the same they will be doing with the Thortons when they get released. I wonder if this is true, then can this cache be reactivated, and the chip turned back into a Tbred?

Yea where does it say stripped down bartons?
the size of the die,the model number (8) and the name applebred speak for themselves, its a L2 cache disabled TBred.

The Coolest: I agree, but other sources have stated it has some of the features that are found in bartons, maybe its a hybrid (the crossover from tbreds to bartons that went a bit pair shaped!!)

Still can't wait to see what they are like!!!

Cheap chips are cheap chips. If it turns out we can get one of these in the U.S., sign me up, I'll buy one to play with.
