Scumbria - Re: "Because of Intel FUD. During the next year it will be interesting to see if Intel still has enough muscle to force pointless changes on the industry."

Why didn't Cyrix and AMD design their M1/M2 and K6 devices to fit into a Socket 6 - 486 - device?

Wouldn't that have been better and cheaper for their customers?

Did Intel force them to use the Socket 7?

I understand the FUD with slot 1.
What I really want to know is what does adding 256k of L2 cache to the K6-3 do for the cache on the motherboard. Make it L3? What is the advantage if any to this?
Jim
