Though current new desktop Duron products from major PC makers are scarce--likely because companies like Compaq Computer and Hewlett-Packard are juggling model lineups--AMD says the new chip will be available from brand-name PC makers by the end of the year. Meanwhile, it can be purchased through resellers or found at a number of smaller PC makers.
AMD lists the new 1.2GHz Duron at $103, the same introductory price of its 1.1GHz Duron, before an Oct. 29 round of price cuts moved that chip's list price to $89. --John G. Spooner, ZDNet News
