Covington vs K6, part II
When Intel removes the L2 cache from the Pentium II,
the subsequent drop in performance will give Intel's
rivals a greater edge. In addition, Covington will
likely use the 66MHz bus used by the current
generation of Pentium II processors, not the 100MHz
bus due on the forthcoming higher-speed Pentium II
chips.

Another factor that allows AMD, Cyrix and IDT to keep
costs down is their use of the tried-and-true Pentium
socket, Socket 7. PC OEMs moving Pentium PCs to the
Pentium II chip, in contrast, will incur research and
development costs because the Pentium II implements a
new processor socket, known as Slot 1.
