Jim,

<Au Contraire me boy, I've gotten everything right about this company since June and what have you gotten right?>

Maybe you should become an analyst, Jim, and replace Kumar and Kurlak.

<And a K6-3-450 easily beats a Pentium II 500?>

Considering your self-proclaimed perfect record about AMD, would you be willing to risk that perfect record with such a radical claim about K6-3 450 MHz performance?

Face it, Jim, adding 256K of on-die L2 cache is not going to improve the K6-3 as much as an on-die L2 cache improved the Mendocino Celeron, since the K6 and K6-2 already had an L2 cache on the motherboard. Sure, that L2 cache becomes an L3 cache, but the L3 cache isn't likely to make much of a difference due to diminished returns. Plus, there is no reason for me to believe that the "core changes" within the K6-3 are going to improve its per-clock performance. More likely, those core changes were necessary to get to the higher frequencies in the first place.
