AMD today announced the immediate availability of the Mobile AMD Duron processor for notebook PCs. The Mobile AMD Duron processor is the first seventh-generation processor to enter the notebook market, and is available in volume today at speed grades of 700 and 600MHz.
NEC has announced that its "LaVie U" series of notebook PCs will use the 700MHz Mobile AMD Duron processor. All models are scheduled to begin shipping January 25.
However, Mobile AMD Duron processor is based not on the so long awaited new Morgan core but on the current AMD Duron processor core, Spitfire, supporting 1.4V. So, Morgan based CPUs are most likely to appear later then.
The 700MHz and 600MHz Mobile AMD Duron processors are priced at $123 and $75 respectively, each in 1,000-unit quantities.
