And They're Off - AMD's Thunderbird

Today is the day that AMD seriously impacted the neverending race to make the best processors on the market. Premiering 15 processors in total, with 12 of them being the new Thunderbird series, AMD has raised the bar for Chipzilla in this ongoing battle. Consumers can purchase the new AMD in 6 speed ranges, the fastest topping out a 1GHz.

The AMD Duron, also launched today, is set to make waves in the kiddy pool of processors, taking aim at drowning the Intel Celeron and its market share. Intel last week slashed prices for most of their processors, in efforts to muffle the uproar of AMD's announcement today. Visit the AMD Web site for more information.
