Ted,

A very smart move by AMD! This is from C't magazine (translated from German into English using Altavista)

AMD brings new Low Cost processor

With the AMD K6-2+ AMD in the Low Cost market wants to bring out still another further processor for the base 7. While the K6-2 without L2-Cache comes and the K6-III is provided with 256 KByte L2-Cache, the new type is situated in the golden center: it has an integrated L2-Cache with 128 KByte -- thus just as much as the Celeron of the ore competitor Intel.

In the comparison to the K6-III is the K6-2+ therefore smaller and cheaper to manufacture. A further substantial cost reduction arises as a result of transferred to a 0,18æm-process, with which almost twice as many chips fit on a silicon wafer(wafer) as before. Additionally smaller structures reduce the current consumption and enable higher clock rates beyond of 500 mc/s. Drews did not transfer however to the copper process in Dresden is at present planned according to predicates of the Dresdener of press speaker. The K6-2+ is to come in the first quarter 2000 to a OEM price around the 60 dollar on the market. (as/ c't)
