Priest: <<There they go again - their process can't produce 450 MHz at the nominal Vcc so they have to JACK UP THE VOLTAGE. That's a 9% power increase over the 2.2 volt part at the same frequency. However, since 450 MHz is 12.5% above 400 MHz, that adds up to a total of 21.5% POWER INCREASE for 450 MHz K6-2.>> Keep on bitching. It was you who suggested that. I forwarded your idea to Mr. Beckman and he replied that he would send to the AMD R&D. You got to think and understand what you preach. All I have to say is GO AMD. Here goes the competition again. K6-2-450MHz will keep ASP up. Intel needs to pull in the Celeron 450MHz in February. Maxwell

Re: "There they go again - their process can't produce 450 MHz at the nominal Vcc so they have to JACK UP THE VOLTAGE." Stop your whining. Wasn't it your idea to increase the voltage anyway? Kevin

Pal, <that adds up to a total of 21.5% POWER INCREASE for 450 MHz K6-2. I hope the PC OEM's can handle that excess heat generation.> We must be scared! Whopping 21.5%! Only one question, pal: realive to what? You must forgot that the percentage is a relative increase. Clearly years of your "happy" retirement show off in full scale. The power of 0.25um K6 is pretty handlable, as you should know. It is way below the K6-233 at 3.3V, and the PC OEM industry did handle that power pretty well, as you should remember again by advances in AMD consumer market share. Your 21% makes no difference. BTW, your phrase "I hope the PC OEM's can handle that excess heat generation" betrades you completely about your intents on this thread.
