This is from the PCWORLD website http://www.pcworld.com/cgi-bin/pcwtoday?ID=9271 : "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." >I would like to find info about the K6-3 also called Sharptooth but just >found it at the tomshardware web site.
