Dear Doug:

The K6-3/450 smoked all other x86s in server work which does very little floating point. RDBMS servers liked it because it was very fast with their uses of BCD arithmetic and string handling. The combination of larger L1, full speed L2 and larger L3 (64KB, 256KB, 1024KB in my system) was faster than even AMD suspected (they were surprised that the L3 boosted scores by 5 to 10% depending on the application). It was the king on Linux kernel compile at the time.

Pete
