 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.
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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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The AMD K6 is a Pentium-class microprocessor, manufactured by AMD, which superseded the K5.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.

 AMD K6-III and Athlon
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.
On Jan. 3, 2000, AMD is expected to release an 800 MHz Athlon and reduce prices on current parts.
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.
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.
The Pentium III for desktop PCs will come in 450MHz and 500MHz clock speeds initially, with a 550MHz version due in the second quarter.

 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 K6-2 400 uses 11.25 amps and the 450 uses 12.5 amps at their maximum current consumption level.

 2. AMD K6-III
AMD K6 CPU has been launched in April 1997 and it has been the first CPU on the market of the sixth generation followed, a month later, by Intel Pentium II.
In February 1999 there has been the third evolution of the K6 series, with the introduction of K6-III model; this CPU has been created integrating 256 Kbytes of L2 cache within the Core of K6-2 CPU.
You can also install K6-III CPU on some Socket 7 motherboards including Intel 430HX and 430TX chipset with power voltage at 2.4V; these motherboards don't include bus frequency of 100 MHz, but this doesn't affect the performance as you can see in the following illustration:

 AMD K6-III - Processor Upgrade Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
Its not a major suprise that AMD pulled the plug on this chip because the Athlon had not long been released and there was probably not as much difference as they may have liked between performance of the original Athlon and the K6-III apart from the clock speed.
The K6-III was a little bit on the dear side but then again at the time of its release it was the quickest chip AMD...
