AMD Mobile Duron LV 1000 socket: Socket 462

What the Mobile Duron LV 1000 is

The AMD Mobile Duron LV 1000 is a 1000 MHz single-core mobile processor from December 2001. It runs one K7 Camaro core at 1000 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 25 W in a Socket 462 package with part number DHM1000AVS1B on a 200 MT/s front side bus with a 10x multiplier at 1.50 V. The cpu_list Morgan codename and 35 W value differ from the table Camaro and 25 W, and the table Camaro 25 W values are used here since Camaro is the mobile Morgan Model 7 with the same silicon. The cpu_list 2002 year matches the table December 2001 within monthly rounding, and the table date is used here.

Camaro is the mobile Morgan Model 7 with 64 KB of L2 cache, which separates Mobile Duron parts from desktop Morgan Duron parts at higher voltage. The LV 1000 low-voltage bin targets thin notebooks with 25 W cooling against 35 W standard mobiles. AMD placed it in December 2001 with the 1100 MHz and 1200 MHz Camaro parts above it. The chip supports MMX, SSE and Enhanced 3DNow.

Small cache with low voltage defines the value mobile trade. The 64 KB L2 quarters Athlon XP mobile cache at nearby clocks, which shows in office multitasking yet matters less in single-task portable use. That is why Mobile Duron parts cost less than Athlon XP-M parts at similar megahertz.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The Mobile Duron LV 1000 fits Socket 462 notebooks with DDR memory and Camaro mobile BIOS support. It needs a notebook Socket 462 board with low-voltage paths. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.

Thin DDR notebooks are the natural match. Boards listing Camaro 1000 parts accept the chip with a 25 W heat pipe. Desktop Morgan Duron parts need tower boards with higher voltage instead.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory is 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 25 W with quiet fans. PowerNow-style trimming is limited on early Camaro parts, so idle savings come mainly from low voltage.

Upgrade paths

On Socket 462 the mobile steps are Camaro 1100 and 1200 parts at the same 25 W envelope where listed. Desktop Morgan 1000 parts offer the same clocks in towers with higher voltage. Athlon XP-M Thoroughbred parts offer more cache as a larger lift. Beyond Socket 462 a move to Socket 754 needs a new notebook. The chip lifts with the lever, so swaps need no solder work.
