Thread, CEBIT latest: AMD lets Sockel-7 die The processor manufacturer AMD took and would like the long expected Sockel-7-Prozessoren K6-2+ and K6-iii+ of its Roadmap now mobile versions of these processors on the market to only bring. Through renouncement of the special current savings methods they are to run however in Sockel-7-Mainboards, which makes available according to small core voltages (1.9 or 2.0 V). Besides is not planned to insert a higher multiplicator than 6 so that with a Frontside Bustakt of 100 mc/s the max. processor clock would be with 600 mc/s. Since the K6-2+ will run in some Sockel-7-Systemen, AMDs break of this outdated base and the limitation on 600 mc/s has rather a strategic meaning: The Athlon processor is to gain also in the middle and lower price segment a foothold and transfer all market shares, which so far the K6-iii for itself stresses. However AMD thereby loses itself a little the Upgrade willing ones from the eyes, their old Sockel-7-Boards not to give up would like and by the application Level-2-Cache integrated by processors with (K6-iii: 256 KByte, K6-iii+: 256 Kbyte, K6-2+: 128 KByte) still performances quite up-to-date expect. On the other hand a fan of the old Sockel-7-Technik does not let itself be held also to use a mobile processor
