Jim,

I suspect AMD is playing around with the K6-3, making sure it will run at equal or higher "RPMs" than the K6-2 before introduction.

They probably don't want that extra 15-20% performance at the same clock rate. It has been my observation that most CPU companies would rather play around with a superior pin-compatible product than sell it.

Or maybe there are unresolved technical issues.
