Nothing suprising about the K6-me2 except what isn't there.

1. No 333 or 350mhz part like some here promised!

2. The 300mhz version does not outperform a 400mhz PII on 3D like some here insisted.

3. AMD searched everywhere but couldn't find a single non 3D benchmark where the 300mhz K6-me2 with 100mhz bus could equal a 300mhz PII, even when the PII had a 66mhz bus!

4. No top tier customers announcing today that I could find in their press release. Where are the 100mhz chipsets that IBM and Compaq can use with a straight face (like some here promised)?

Pravin , re. all the evidence points to no 333mhz
On the 23 April according to Real World the .25 process yield was so good that nearly all K6 classics were 300mhz parts .

Since the re-engineering on K6-2 should provide higher speeds IMHO the higher speed parts will be forthcoming , perhaps from #1 ?
