AMD fights back with new 3D K6 chip-- Stung by criticism that its microprocessors fail to deliver sufficient multimedia performance, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has answered with a 3D-enhanced version of its K6 microprocessor, reports EBN's (http://www.ebnonline.com) Mark Hachman. The K6-2, once known as the K6 3D, is an enhanced 0.25-micron version of the company's flagship K6 microprocessor plus 3DNow!, AMD's proprietary instructions for accelerating lighting and geometry calculations in games. AMD executives announced the chip last week at Electronic Entertainment Expo in Atlanta. The announcement was backed by IBM Corp. and a host of second- and third-tier OEMs who said they will use the new chip. edtn.com
