AMD K6-II or K6-3D
The newest version of the K6 code name "Chomper" is an intriguing new CPU. The K6 model 8
is called K6-2, and it is manufactured with 0.25 micron technology. This gives the front side bus
(system bus) a speed of 100 MHz.
The K6-2 also holds a new 3D plug-in (called 3DNow!) for better game performance. It is 21
new instructions that can be used by software developers giving a better 3D-performance. To
benefit from it, you need a graphics driver ore a came, which deals directly with the new
commands. 3DNow! is nThe next version of this chip - model 9 code name "Sharptooth" - will incorporate three levels of
cache! In the CPU you find both a L1- and a L2-cache. The in-chip L2 cache of 64 KB runs at
processor speed. On the main board you will find L3-cache up to 1 megabyte!ot compatible with MMX.

Deschutes
On January the 26th Intel introduced the new 333 MHZ model of Pentium II. It is the first of a
second generation Pentium-II's known under the code name "Deschutes". The chips are
produced with 0.25 micron technology, which reduces the power consumption with more than
50 % compared to the original Pentium II "Klamath" with its 0.35 micron technology. The core
voltage is down from 2.8 to 2.0 Volt.
On April the 15th Intel released the next line of Deschutes. The system bus is sped up to 100
MHz. This will internally be multiplied by the clock factors 3.5, 4.0 and (June 1998) 4.5, making
the CPU running at 350, 400 and 450 MHz. These CPU's uses the new chip set: 82440BX.
So the Deschutes chips use two different mother boards:
l LX-based for the 333 MHZ version (5 X 66 MHZ)
l BX-based for the 350 and 400 MHZ versions (3.5 and 4.0 X 100 MHZ).
The L2 cache RAM has to deal with these higher clock frequencies:
