My Preliminary K6 Benchmarking Results:

My K6 system consisted of Shuttle 569 mainboard, Diamond Viper 330 video card, 64MB 60ns regular DRAM and IBM SCII hard drive. I ran the WINTUNE 95 benchmark from PC magazine. This is what I got with CPU running at 3.2V

Bus Speed CPU Clock MIPS
66MHz 133MHz 270
66MHz 166MHz 350
66MHz 200MHz 425
66MHz 233MHz 489
66MHz 266MHz 555

My K5-PR166 gives me 250MIPS.

My system would give me about 70MIPS for every 33MHz increase in CPU clock. At 300MHz I should get about 625MIPs, not bad for a $200 chip.
I am not sure whether my K6 can run 300MHz at 3.2V or not. I will try it out and update you the result.
