The AMD K6 is a superscalar P5 Pentium -class microprocessor, manufactured by AMD, which superseded the K5. The AMD K6 is based on the Nx686 microprocessor that NexGen was designing when it was acquired by AMD.

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.

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! SIMD instruction set and an upgraded system-bus interface called Super Socket 7, which was backward compatible with older Socket 7 motherboards.

Apr 3, 1997 · AMD has decided to take the proprietary route with the K6 in the first half of 1998 with the introduction of the K6-3D. The K6-3D will essentially be a K6, with a few new features, such as a...

Sep 2, 2008 · AMD Improves the Athlon: Thunderbird, XP, and more. In 1997, AMD released a new processor: the K6. Unlike the K5, which was created by AMD, the K6 was the result of the work done by...

Jul 1, 2024 · AMD K6 family is the second generation of x86-compatible 32-bit processors designed by AMD. The K6 microprocessor is based on Enhanced RISC86 core.

AMD-K6 Processor EMI Design Considerations Introduction The AMD-K6® processor family consists of high-performance x86-compatible processors containing more than 8.8 million transistors. The previous generation of AMD-K6 processors used 2.9 V and 3.2 V to power the processor’s core circuitry. They were fabricated using AMD’s enhanced 0.35 ...

AMD's sixth-generation AMD-K6® processor brings advanced, six-issue RISC86® superscalar performance to mainstream PCs running both 16-bit and 32-bit code, enabling leading-edge performance on both the Microsoft® Windows® 95 and Windows NTTM operating systems, as well the installed base of x86 software.
