Fuchi, <AMD K6-300Mhz on 100Mhz bus speed is going to be faster than any Intel processor during..> Looking at published benchmarks for 75/83Mhz overclocked systems, I would not be over-optimistic. Let say, the K6-300 will continue to be "on par" with best Intel offerings. Regards, Ali

Ali, RE: <Therefore, AMD K6-300Mhz on 100Mhz bus speed is going to be faster than any Intel processor during 1Q'98 and part of 2Q'98.> I hope so, but Intel is coming out with a 333MHz as early as Feb, from what I've seen. But that chip will barely run any faster than the 300, so a K6-3D at 300 will beat it hands down. It'll probably be a horse race as to which of these comes out first though. BTW, I'll be on a missions trip in Mexico for the next week. I pray all the news is good this week. Petz

I think we heard this faster-than-Intel noise when the K6 was first released but it was a long wait before anybody significant made a meaningful commitment to use the product. I'm afraid the proprietary slot-n approach is going to leave the K6 out in the cold, as it were. Speaking of cold, they are considering using them to control temperature in late-model slurpee machines. Note that the K6 might also be a good choice for these battery powered computers people seem to using these days: the manufacturers could legitimately claim that the batteries would out-last the CPU making it appear as though the batteries had some special quality, when in fact it was the tenous nature of the CPU.
