Spurious, Re -- I guess if that's the case than the Celeron with 128k of on chip L2 cache (Mendocino core), due out September 13 (four months after K6-2), will also be faster than a regular Pentium II-300 with 512k of backside cache. On many multi media applications the Celeron (Mendocino) will be faster, or equivalent to the pentium II. The PentiumII is for Performance PC's with added PCI slots, 100 Mhz bus, for business (where the K6 is completely absent). The Celeron is for the Basic PC for Web browsing and games (A cheaper better alternative to the K6-2). Stockman

Kevin, K6-2 has 64k cache. Mendocino ought to beat vanilla K6 with same speed since the cache is twice as large. By the time Mendocino arrivals, K6 should have 256k )someone here call it a Sharptooth). Stocky is twisting facts again (comparing something Intel's future to AMD now). How will Katami and Sharptooth compare is unknown at this point since both have 256k. I will not make any judgement or accept any since none of us know, not even the two companies (they did pass samples to each other). So those claimed they know are full of craps, IMHO.
