	Encyclopedia: AMD K6-III
		Turion 64 is AMDs 64-bit mobile processor, intended to compete with Intels Pentium M. It is compatible with AMDs Socket 754 and is equipped with 512 or 1024 KB of L2 cache, a 64-bit single channel on-die memory controller, and an 800MHz HyperTransport bus.
		AMD continued to devote their marketing resources to the Athlon and neither part became well-known outside the industry, but both had modest success and became firm favourites with the overclocking community.
		AMD preferring to concentrate on their soon-to-be-released Athlon instead.

	AMD K6-2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The K6-2 was a very successful chip and provided AMD with the marketing base and the financial stability it would need to introduce the Athlon.
		The K6-2 was the first CPU to introduce a floating point SIMD instruction set (dubbed 3DNow!
		Performance of the two chips was broadly similar: the K6 tending to be faster for general-purpose computing, the Intel part clearly superior at floating-point tasks.

	AMD K6-III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		AMD chose not to sell a 500 MHz or faster K6-III after the rare 500 MHz K6-III had been immediately recalled after it was found to be drawing enough current to damage some motherboards.
		In execution, however, the design was not simple: with 21.4 million transistors, it was a very large chip to manufacture with early 1999 technology, and the K6 core design did not scale well past 500 MHz.
		AMD continued to devote their marketing resources to the Athlon and neither part became well-known outside the industry, but both had modest success and became firm favourites with the overclocking community.

		The AMD K6 is based on the Nx686 microprocessor that NexGen was designing when it was acquired by AMD.
		The AMD K6 is a Pentium-class microprocessor, manufactured by AMD, which superseded the K5.
		The final iteration of the K6 design was released in May 1998 running at 300 MHz and continued with the K6-2 and the K6-III.

		An internal 256KB L2 write-back cache operating at the full speed of the AMD-K6-III processor and complementing the 64KB L1 cache, which was standard in all AMD-K6 family processors
		In addition to this multiport cache design, the AMD-K6-III processor core was able to access both L1 and L2 caches simultaneously, which further enhanced overall CPU throughput.
		AMD claimed that with a fully-configured Level 3 cache, the K6-III had a 435% cache size advantage over a Pentium III and, consequently, a significant performance advantage.

	AMD K6 2 550 v AMD DURON 750 REVIEW
		Later AMD released the K6 3 and the K6 2+ and K6 3+ series of mobile processors at various speeds but these were sold in very limited numbers.
		A few years ago the AMD K6 2 was the cutting edge of performance, it was installed in millions of PC's across the world and even today has a large number of very happy users.
		To get the same performance as the 750mhz Duron the K6 2 would have to be run at 1100mhz which is impossible for this type of cpu, the max stock speed for the K6 2 is 550mhz.

	AMD K6-III and Athlon
		On Jan. 3, 2000, AMD is expected to release an 800 MHz Athlon and reduce prices on current parts.
		Early tests have shown that the new AMD processor, which costs slightly less than comparable chips from Intel, outperforms the Pentium II in general CPU performance, but is considerably slower in floating point calculations.
		Thus, AMD has to persuade PC motherboard and companion chip vendors to build products based on this so-called "Slot A" design.

	AMD K6-III+ Review
		Because of that, AMD decided to continue to use the K6 line of processor for mobile usage.
		In mid 1999, we saw AMD revamping it’s K6 line in order to make it custom to the mobile market.
		In 1999, we saw the introduction of the AMD Athlon, which took a large bit of OEM as well as Retail CPU sales away from Intel because it was finally a cheap processor that preformed just as well, if not better than, the Intel processor of the time, the Pentium !!!.

	AMD launches K6-III today - ZDNet UK News
		The AMD chip has a new three-level cache design, which integrates 256KB of Level 2 cache and includes an additional external 512KB of Level 3 cache, both of which increase performance.
		Also due this month is a 450MHz K6-2 chip; the Californian company's next-generation K-7 chip is slated for release at the end of the second quarter.
		Last week at its Pentium III Preview Day in the US, Intel and its partners exhibited the Pentium III's 70 new streaming single-instruction, multiple-data instructions and its revamped floating-point architecture, which improve the processing of multimedia such as three-dimensional graphics and speech recognition.

		By shrinking the die to an.18 micron process, AMD was able to lower the voltage requirements of the K6-2 core to 1.4-2.0v depending on the Power Now stepping.
		Next came the K6-III, which was essentially a CXT core K6-2 with 256K of full speed on die cache and up to 2 Megabytes of Level-3 cache depending on the motherboard used.

	AMD K6-2 - The Processor Emporium (UK) (Page 2 of 2)
		The AMD K6-2 has always been priced by AMD to be cheaper than its Intel rivals, although it has come under considerable pressure from the Celeron recently.
		This pressure though has not defeated the AMD K6-2, as its speed has risen to 450 MHz, and in April 1999 up to 475 MHz (5x on a 95 MHz bus), it seems that the Intel Celeron certainly won't have it all its own way against the little AMD chip.
		The AMD K6-2 is a very good processor indeed with many strenghts and just a couple of weaknesses.

		The K6 3 incorporated the equivalent of 21.3 million transistors in its design and is the most powerful processor to be successfully adapted to M571 3.2, 3.2a, and 7.0 boards.
		AMD K6 3 chips were introduced in February 1999 and discontinued a little over a year later.

	Test cpu AMD K6-III
		Intel and AMD, with their proprietary instruction sets within the Pentium III and K6-2 and K6-III CPUs, aim at increasing the performances of the processor while carrying the operations needed to create a 3D scene.
		As we’ll see later, K6-III CPU led to the definition of a new kind of cache, L3 or third level; this is the L2 cache on Socket 7 motherboard renamed as L3 as K6-III integrates it within the CPU core.
		Many think that the clock frequency of a processor is the most important element of general performance, while it is only one of the aspects to consider as it is as important as the architecture used on one side and the software optimisation on the other.

		The AMD K6-III is here to the rescue: it allows you to use memory out of motherboard's cache boundary with an almost un-noticeable decrease in performance.
		Upon contacting the AMD Tech Manager who had supplied me with the CPU, it was explained that there are occasional problems with 100MHz bus speeds and CXT core K6 CPUs on older motherboards.

		The AMD K6-III+ processors are the most advanced Socket 7 CPUs ever produced.
		With most other Socket 7 CPUs, the L2 cache is located on the motherboard where it operates at the speed of the system bus (typically between 66 and 100MHz).

		Because AMD's new mobile chip is PIN-compatible with existing K6-2 notebooks, vendors won't have to invest in a new design, Booth says.
		AMD's K6-III-P also has double the L1 cache of Intel's fastest mobile Celeron and PII chips.
