New Duron:

We posted this over the weekend and now that the mainstream press has picked it up we are getting tons of email showing us what we "missed". Shame on you guys for not reading on Saturdays!

Seriously, here is the PDF linked below from AMD that will tell you all you could ever want to know about the new Duron.

This information is a bit more solid than the "he said she said" of the tech tabloids. AMD has posted the AMD Duron™ Processor Model 8 Data Sheet. Thanks Ben Peddell. Thermals are on page 21 with frequencies of 1400, 1600, and 1800MHz noted. Socket A is still around too. I don't see this being a big concern to enthusiasts, unless you are responsible for building corporate work stations.
