"AMD Readies Rival K6-3

Around the same time, in late February or early March, rival processor
vendor Advanced Micro Devices is also expected to introduce a new 450-MHz
processor called K6-3.

The K6-3, a follow up to the company's K6-2 series, will have the addition
of 256K of performance-enhancing Level 2 cache memory integrated into the
same piece of silicon as the processor core, AMD officials said earlier.

AMD's K6-3 chips, however, will not include the new Katmai instructions.
Instead, AMD will continue to integrate its own multimedia-enhancing
instruction set, called 3DNow, which it introduced in the K6-2 series.

In this year's second quarter, AMD is also expected to take the wraps of its
next-generation processor, the K7, which will run at clock-speeds of 500MHz
and higher."
