Jim:

<<It's not really fair to compare the Mendocino and the L2 cacheless K6-2.>>

K6-2 will beat Mendicino in FPU with 3DNow software clock for clock.
K6-3 will beat Xeon clock for clock. Reason? K6 logic core is faster than PII and K6 3D engine is superior to anything Intel has.

Jim - Re: "The K6-3 with 256k L2 in the die would be a better comparison. It's die size will be 117mm2 and I hear it will be faster than the Mendocino."

I hear the same thing.

My sources indicate a good improvement for the K6-3 speed - to be introduced at 3 Speed grades:

333, 350, and 400 Mhz.

When do your sources estimate the K6-3 will be introduced.

Paul
