Well, we decided to give you a brief update on the overclocking potential of new AMD Duron CPUs. Today we will overclock the processors working at 700, 750 and 800MHz. The test system included: ASUS A7V, ABIT KT7 and ABIT KT7A mainboards, which allow changing the processor clock multiplier. We unlocked the clock multiplier by closing the L1 golden bridges on the CPU surface with the help of an ordinary pencil. We increased the CPU voltage up to 1.85V and the cooling was arranged with a Chrome Orb cooler from Thermaltake and thermal grease. Here is what we got:

CPU MarkingWeek of

AKBA0038FPBW381000-1050MHz
AKCAR0048XPMW48950-1000MHz
AKCA0049MPMW49900-950MHz
AKCA0101SPAW01/2001900MHz
Duron 750
AKBA0040TPHW40900-950MHz
AKCA0044TPFW44950MHz
AKCA0047SPNW47900-950MHz
AMCA0051CPAW51900-950MHz
Duron 800
AKBA0037EPCW371000-1050MHz
AKCA0046MPMW46950MHz
AKCA0051MPMW51950MHz

Well, since all the processors are made of the same "dough", there isn’t much difference between them in terms of the maximum frequency achieved.
