Processor details :

Not surprisingly the Duron 1.3 is a model 7 Duron and is a revision 1 part, as was the 1.2GHz. Cpu-Z seems to be having a problem reading the frequencies but I can reassure you that it ran at 100MHz FSB coupled with a 13x clock multiplier.

 

Here's a quick breakdown of the architecture features.

• An advanced nine-issue, superpipelined, superscalar x86
  processor microarchitecture designed for high clock
  frequencies
  
• Multiple x86 instruction decoders
  
• Fully pipelined, floating-point unit that executes all x87
  (floating-point), MMX and 3DNow! Professional technology
  instructions
  
• Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined integer units
  
• Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined address
  calculation units
  
• A 72-entry instruction control unit
  
• Advanced dynamic branch prediction
  
• A 200-MHz AMD Duron system bus (scalable beyond 400
  MHz) enabling leading-edge system bandwidth for data
  movement-intensive applications
  
• High-performance cache architecture featuring an
  integrated 128-Kbyte L1 cache and an exclusive 64-Kbyte L2
  cache
