Ref- "<The higher MHZ on 0.18 for K-6 will not improve performance since the CPU will become memory starved.> One more theorist of performance. You equally can apply this argument to any processor, P-III, Xeon, K7, etc. Go tell Intel they do not need the CuLATERmine with 600MHz: there will be a big laugh. " I shall clarify my statement. The K-6 and K-62 will become memory starved at very high MHZ because of sharing a common bus for L1 & L2.However that is not the case for K-63 & K7. And K-63 & K-7 shall have significant performance improvement with higher MHz.And in my post I clearly stated that it made a lot of business sense to shrink the K-7 and the K-63. And please do not go off at a tangent
