Unfortunately they decided to release the chip under the name "Duron." If
you look at the date of that report, it's nearly a year old. It's code
name would have been a better name. It's big brother was code named
"Thunderbird." The chip really does live up to the Spitfire name though,
it's cheaper than it's competition and has excellent performance.
