Goutama - <-Half-cache(same as Intel Coppermine)> Coppermine L2 cache runs at full processor speed. What is meant by this statement? PB

Goutama, IMO, AMD should license the K6-2 design (0 cache version) to VIA and let them fight Intel on the low end by themselves. Petz

<Take it FWIW. I'd welcome a good discussion on this - ———————————————————————— AMD K6-2+ techplus.com Tuesday, September 28, 1999 - 10:32 PM Andrew Oliver > As I have stated before, this is a deadend product if it cannot keep MHz parity with CuMine-128. Other things working against the K6 platform in general are: - reduced infrastructure support on SS7 (only AMD will be left on socket 7 and even that at reduced volumes) - rapid obsolecsence as Athlon select ramps up - difficult for chipset and motherboard vendors to support a platform whose volumes are uncertain and is slated to be replaced by Athlon Select pretty soon
