AMD Duron 1300 socket: Socket 462

What the Duron 1300 is

The AMD Duron 1300 is a 1300 MHz single-core desktop processor from January 2002. It runs one K7 Morgan core at 1300 MHz with no turbo, so 1 core gives 1 thread. Cache is 64 KB of L2 on a 180 nm process. Power is rated at 60 W in a Socket 462 package with part number DHD1300AMT1B on a 200 MT/s front side bus with a 13x multiplier at 1.75 V. The cpu_list January 2002 date matches the table January 21, 2002, and the monthly value is used here.

Morgan adds SSE to Spitfire Duron parts while keeping 64 KB of L2 cache, which separates Morgan Duron parts from Thoroughbred Athlon XP parts with 256 KB at nearby clocks. The 1300 tops Morgan desktop Duron before Applebred moved the line to 130 nm in August 2003. AMD sold it at 118 dollars in January 2002. The chip supports MMX, SSE and Enhanced 3DNow.

Small cache with a slow bus defines the budget trade. The 200 MT/s link with 64 KB suits office tasks while keeping board cost low with SDRAM or early DDR chipsets. That is why the 1300 shipped in value towers with integrated graphics.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The Duron 1300 fits Socket 462 value desktops with a 200 MT/s bus and Morgan BIOS support. It needs DDR or SDRAM slots with Model 7 microcode. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.

Budget DDR towers are the natural match. Boards listing Morgan Duron parts accept the chip with a 60 W cooler. Thoroughbred Athlon XP parts offer more cache where listed.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory is DDR or SDRAM through the board chipset, matched to the 200 MT/s bus. The CPU has no controller.

A 200 MT/s bus ties the CPU to the chipset, while graphics hangs off the chipset. No PCIe lanes originate on the die. Cooling uses the socket lug clip with a 60 W heatsink.

Upgrade paths

On Socket 462 the Morgan line tops at 1300 MHz, so same generation upgrades stop here. Applebred Duron 1400 parts offer 64 KB on 130 nm with a 266 MT/s bus as successors. Athlon XP Thoroughbred parts add cache as a larger lift. The 1300 lifts with the lever, so swaps need no solder work.
