Tench:

There is no technical difference between the cores of the K6 "mobile" and K6 "desktop" AFAIK. I believe there was some discussion of this point on the date of introduction. The "mobile" K6 is merely in a different package I believe.

Ten, despite the fact that AMD did put some power saving tweaks into the K6 notebook chips, many notebook makers have done the same thing externally. There are K6-2 notebooks all over the place -- I saw one 266 and two 300 MHz K6-2 notebooks at Fry's last weekend. They are probably running the chips with slightly lower Vcc.

There's some evidence that the process tweaks that give us 400 MHz also lower power consumption at lower frequencies.
