From Ben: Looks like we're getting new Duron Model 8 Processors - 1400, 1600 and 1800 MHz. AMD released a Tech Doc on August 15 - 25848.PDF shown on their Duron Tech Doc Page - on these processors. This lists the different processors on page 33 - which is Chapter 6. The maximum temp of them is 85C, with a maximum power of 57W. According to TheReg, they'll be_'priced at $32, $39 and $47, respectively' [$US, I presume] and will be codenamed 'Appalbred'. Update: apparently the actual name is 'Applebred' ... less appalling name, and it's aimed at "less wealthy nations" according to TheReg, thanks again Ben.
