MD Targets Notebook PCs With Its K6 Processor
by Andy Santoni InfoWorld Electric

April 3, 1997
AMD is preparing to broaden its focus for the K6 processor from
the desktop to mobile computers, officials said Wednesday.
Laptops using the chip could be available later this year.

K6 is AMD's alternative to Intel's Pentium II processor. The
K6 chip is being characterized for mobile applications now, said
Atiq Raza, senior vice president and chief technical officer at
AMD. Mobile versions of the device will be offered to
manufacturers once the specifications are firm.

Raza would not speculate on when laptop K6 systems would
ship. Improvements in semiconductor manufacturing
technologies will help AMD bring the K6 to mobile applications,
explained Vinod Dham, vice president of AMD's Computation
Products group.
