Tuesday January 6, 3:42 pm Eastern Time (sorry if this was posted already) Company Press Release AMD Begins Shipments of AMD-K6 Processors Utilizing Quarter-Micron Process Technology SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 1998--AMD today announced that it commenced initial shipments of AMD-K6 processors based on 0.25-micron process technology during the recently completed quarter (Q4, 1997). The initial shipments, which were fabricated in the company's Submicron Development Center (SDC), included both 266- and 233-megahertz versions of the product. AMD's first desktop processor based on 0.25-micron process technology is a 266-megahertz AMD-K6 device, which is being used to power IBM Corp's new Aptiva model E46 consumer personal computer, introduced today by IBM. The 0.25-micron process in the SDC also enabled shipments of the first mobile version of the AMD-K6 processor, used in the new Compaq Presario model 1621 notebook PC at 233 megahertz, also announced today. ''Use of the AMD-K6 processor by companies such as Compaq and IBM validates the AMD-K6 value proposition, which is to provide the highest possible performance at any given price point,'' said Rob Herb, vice president and co-general manager of AMD's Computation Products Group. biz.yahoo.com
