Chipsets are collections of chips that surround the main processor in a PC, and a shortage would limit the number of Duron PCs that can be sold.
As well as the main processor, the new system includes a second chip, the SM35, to handle various input and output functions such as USB and audio.
For the past 90 years Technicolor has been the main film processor and duplicator in Hollywood, handling 5 billion feet of prints every year.
All of the system's components, including the main control unit, the processor, the speakers, the subwoofers and even one of the two remotes (the second "subremote" provides only basic functions) share an attractive rosewood-framed metal theme.

As we said, the main differences you'll see between these US-centric models and the original version are the processor and amount of RAM used: the American variants all make use of a dual-core, 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 chip and 2GB of memory, while the I9300 runs on quad-core Exynos silicon and one gig of RAM.
