500 Mhz in the third quarter ebns.com SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is sampling a 500-MHz version of its K6-2 microprocessor, which will ship in the third quarter, an AMD spokeswoman said. Some distributors have already begun promoting the new chip on their Web sites. Lynn Computer Products Inc. (North Lauderdale, Fla.) has advertised the 500-MHz part at $439, which the distributor calls a tentative price. A 475-MHz K6-2 is being offered at $169, and should be available in a few days, the company said. The additional speed grade was driven by customer demand, said the spokeswoman for AMD (Sunnyvale, Calif.). AMD's yields for its microprocessors have also improved, she said. AMD executives have said in the past that 500 MHz may represent the maximum clock speed for the K6-2 core.
