Are you sure of this? I have read several places that the die size of the Celeron was 154mm2. Maybe you should submit a correction to this chart.

Anyway, the K6-2 was a superior processor, if floating point wasn't needed. And, if AMD would have bothered to have redesigned it for six copper layers at 0.18-micron it could be quite good even today. As for floating point, with the K6-2+ being produced using SOI and copper interconnects at 0.13-micron, I doubt if many consumers would notice, even for gaming. Alas, AMD seems to prefer riding a single core, just like Intel.
