Brian, smart engineering from AMD When the K6-2 was complete, they start a redesign for the K6-3, so that the clock speed can be improved. Then they plow these design changes back into the K6-2, resulting in a new K6-2 core, referred to as the 'CXT' core. The CXT core is smaller (cheaper to make), runs at higher clock speed, has write-combine feature, something that all programs optimized for the Pentium II will take advantage of. Apparently all future production will use the CXT core, so even 300 MHz chips will have its advantages. (Why not, its cheaper to make?) Its a very good sign that the K6-3 group talks to the K6-2 group which talks to the K7 group, etc. Petz
