來自TOM'S HARDWARE有關 K6-3最新消息
<譯文>
我和Dana Krelle (AMD銷售部門副總裁)談過,而且他給我
有關 AMD最新的獨家消息,K6-3的推出時間應該會和Pentumn-3
上市時間相當的接近.AMD正努力使這顆新的內建256kB L2快取的
CPU更早上市.幾乎所有的人都知道K6-3將可以在目前和配置
K6-2相同的Socket-7主機板上執行,而你可能只是需要將
BIOS升級罷了.K6-3的執行效能將足夠成為Intel Pentumn-3
強勁的競爭對手.K6-3 450MHz在某些benchmark項目上將有
可能比Pentumn-3更來的好,官方高層的說法是 K6-3確定將於
1999第一季開始銷售,但是我們知道第一季的盡頭是3月31日
讓我們一起來期盼K6-3可比這日期更早的上市.
I spoke to Dana Krelle, AMD's vice president of marketing, and he
gave me the latest scoop on AMD's plans. K6-3 is supposed to ship
very close to Intel's Pentium III launch. AMD is trying to release this
new CPU with 256 kB on-die L2 cache already prior to Intel's
Pentium III release. Most of you know that K6-3 will run on the same
Socket7-motherboards that currently host K6-2 CPUs, you may only
require a BIOS update. The performance of K6-3 will be high enough
to make it very competitive to Intel's Pentium III, the K6-3 version at
450 MHz will most likely outperform the new Pentium III 500 in
many benchmarks. The highly official version says that K6-3 will
definitely ship in Q1/1999, but we know that Q1 ends on March 31.
Let's hope K6-3 will be available earlier than this.
