Overclockers Online has compared the Duron with the greenish core against the Duron with the blueish/purpleish core.
The green or blue color you see when you look at the cpu core is actually a very thin layer of polish to protect the core as much as possible. The core remains very fragile, and like I already proved to you, it is very easy to destroy it!Read more
Some people say that the blue core means that AMD used copper interconnects in the cpu. This is NOT true since AMD is not manufacturing any "copper" Durons. They are all manufactured with aluminium interconnects. The Duron cpu´s are all made in AMD´s FAB25, which is located in Texas.
