AMD Mobile Duron 600 socket: Socket 462

What the Mobile Duron 600 is

The AMD Mobile Duron 600 is a 600 MHz single-core mobile processor from January 2001. It runs one K7 Spitfire core at 600 MHz with no turbo, so 1 core gives 1 thread. Cache is 64 KB of L2 on a 180 nm process. The package is Socket 462 for notebooks with part number DM600AVS1B on a 200 MT/s front side bus with a 6x multiplier at 1.40 V. This page omits a TDP rating because the table gives no power figure for the Mobile Duron 600, while the cpu_list 20 W lacks direct table support for this exact bin.

Mobile Spitfire parts run at 1.40 V against 1.60 V desktop Spitfire parts at similar clocks, which trims heat for notebook bodies. AMD placed the 600 in January 2001 with the 700 Mobile Duron. The chip supports MMX and Enhanced 3DNow without SSE.

Low clocks with reduced voltage suit early thin notebooks. The 600 MHz core with 64 KB keeps office tasks usable on battery power. That is why Mobile Duron parts shipped in value notebooks with SDRAM memory.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The Mobile Duron 600 fits Socket 462 notebooks with Spitfire mobile support. It needs a notebook Socket 462 board with 1.40 V paths. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.

Value DDR notebooks are the natural match. Maker lists decide fit.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory is SDRAM or DDR through the board chipset with notebook slots. 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 is the notebook heat pipe for the exact value chassis.

Upgrade paths

On Socket 462 the mobile step is the Mobile Duron 700 at 700 MHz where listed. Desktop Spitfire 600 parts offer the same clocks in towers. Athlon XP-M parts offer more cache as a larger lift. The 600 removes with the socket mechanism, so swaps need no solder work.
