The K6-2 is an x86 microprocessor introduced by AMD on May 28, 1998, [2] and available in speeds ranging from 266 to 550 MHz. An enhancement of the original K6, the K6-2 introduced AMD's 3DNow!

Dec 31, 2024 · Detailed characteristics of processor's internals, including x86 instruction set extensions and individual instructions, high- and low-level technologies, are listed below. This list was acquired from an actual AMD K6-2 450 MHz processor with the help of …

AMD offered a wide range of processor for desktop and notebooks. Especially interesting are the K6-2+ and K6-III+ mobile processors. They are build on a smaller manufacturing process and therefore run on lower voltage, consuming less power and clocking higher. Many chips are able to reach 600 MHz through overclocking.

The AMD K6 microprocessor is the 2nd generation of x86-compatible 32-bit processors designed by AMD. The K6 core was derived from the NexGen Nx686 core being developed based on the RISC86 architecture. [1][2]

Tray AMD K6-2 450 MHz CPUs have AMD-K6-2/450AFX part number. Please check AMD K6-2 page for details on other processors from the family.

Nov 5, 2021 · On a 100MHz Super Socket 7 chipset, it takes a 4.5x multiplier to reach 450MHz. Initially I wanted to overclock the FSB since the motherboard provides official unsupported jumper settings to reach 112MHz and 124MHz. Using either of these settings appeared to be wildly unstable however even when holding the CPU multiplier back to account for it.

An enhancement of the original K6, the K6-2 introduced AMD's 3DNow! SIMD instruction set, featured a larger 64 KiB Level 1 cache (32 KiB instruction and 32 KiB data), and an upgraded system-bus interface called Super Socket 7, which was backward compatible with older Socket 7 …

May 28, 1998 · Thus the K6-2 is now defintely the fastest Socket 7 CPU for Socket 7 in office applications, far ahead of the Cyrix ’M2’ and the IBM 6x86MX as well as the Pentium MMX to boot.
