AMd has K6-2+ and K6-3+ documents on the website for at least a few days (dated 5/2000)

Among other things:
1. Nominal core voltage is 2.0v (1.9 to 2.1)
2. Standard 321 pin CPGA package so it should be compatible with most socket 7 K6-2 motherboards, most of which go down to 2.0 volts.
3. Dissipates 12.6w typical, 16w maximum at 450, 475 or 500 MHz. Strangely, the same figures are given for the K6-3+ with its larger 256K cache. (Huh??)

I haven't tried to read the stuff on how it lowers operating frequency to save power when 1)its too hot and/or 2)when its running wait loops.

Looks to me like AMD doesn't want to reveal power dissipation vs. frequency for competitive reasons.
