Description:
The AMD K6 is the second generation of AMD�s successful K6 processor product line. Designed in.25u technology, the K6 adds 3D enhancing instructions that make 3D games and applications more engaging and realistic. The K6 also enables 100Mhz bus, 100Mhz frontside L2 cache, and superscalar MMX.
Key Supporting Features:
Unparalleled Mobile Performance:
The
mobile AMD-K6 processor brings true sixth-generation desktop performance
to the world of mobile computing. The AMD-K6 processor is one of the
world�s most powerful mobile computing solutions, delivering performance
superior to Pentium with MMX technology.
MMX Enhancements:
The mobile AMD-K6 processor uses the latest MMX media enhancement technology to provide vibrant graphics, crystal-clear audio, and smooth video ¾ in short, the ultimate multimedia experience. This built-in MMX enhancement capability, coupled with the AMD-K6 processor�s overall superior performance in the mobile environment, lets you use your Presario notebook PC to deliver high-impact multimedia presentations while on the road.
Advanced Design:
The mobile AMD-K6 processor is the most advanced Windows compatible processor available. The key to the mobile AMD-K6 processor�s leading-edge performance is its advanced, six-issue RISC86 superscalar microarchitecture, the industry�s most sophisticated x86 processor design. The RISC86 microarchitecture�s decoupled decode/execution superscalar design provides enhanced sixth-generation performance and full x86 binary software compatibility. A key performance-enhancing feature is the extra-large, 64-Kbyte on-chip L1 cache-twice the size of the L1 cache used in the Pentium with MMX technology. State-of-the-art design techniques include multiple x86 instruction decode, single-clock internal RISC operations, out-of-order execution, data forwarding, speculative execution, and register renaming.
Windows Compatibility:
The mobile AMD-K6 processor is fully compatible with the Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows 3.x operating systems, as well as other leading operating systems including MS-DOS, Novell NetWare, OS/2 Warp, and Unix. It is also compatible with the installed base of more than 60,000 software applications, including the latest MMX enhanced software.
User Benefits:
Faster multimedia, smoother video playback, MMX enabled applications will run better and faster. Equally priced notebooks will have more features and faster performance. Equally configured notebooks will cost less. Increases productivity saves time, less frustrating.
