From aceshardware.com Yes, 133-Mhz is a hot selling commodity nowadays and AMD certainly wouldn't miss their own opportunity of cashing in on it. According to this IDG Taiwan report, AMD has already been talking with chipset and motherboard vendors about the plan for K6-2 Pro -- essentially a K6-2 that runs at 133 Mhz FSB with PC133 SDRAM support. The details are sketchy at this point, other than AMD is still working on the issues of L2/L3 cache running at 133 Mhz, and that K6-2 Pro is expected to hit the market by the end of Q3 99 at 600 Mhz and above. Now this report about L2/L3 cache led me to believe that this is K6-X Pro that we are talking about, not just K6-2 Pro because K6-2 systems don't have L3 cache. 133 Mhz FSB should help the K6-2 more than K6-III.
