re: notebook k6-2+ Here is a little something from ZDNET I haven't seen posted on the issue: zdnet.com AMD on the move While Intel will begin shipping mobile Pentium III chips with SpeedStep in mid-January, AMD (NYSE: AMD) appears to be only a few steps behind with a power-shifting feature of its own The company at Fall Comdex previewed a similar technology, code-named Gemini, and made public plans to offer it with the forthcoming mobile K6-2+ processor in the first half of next year. The K6-2+ is expected to debut in the first quarter at 500MHz or higher, AMD officials said. However they indicated that Gemini would not be available until later in the year. Gemini is similar to Intel's SpeedStep Technology in that it reduces clock speed, which in turn reduces voltage. Both technologies will benefit consumers who purchase notebooks by giving them longer notebook battery life. Gemini will reduce the K6-2+ chip's core voltage from about 2.0 volts to 1.5 volts, AMD officials said.
