Speed:400MHz
Type:K6-2
Data Code:99??
Introduced:1997
Transistors:9.3 Million
Package:321 Ceramic SPGA w/ Heatspreader

Description:The K6-2 was based on the Nexgen 686. AMD bought
Nexgen and used there RISC86 core which allowed
much higher speeds then the old K5 core. The
K6-2 is merely an enhanced K6. It included
3d Now! which is 21 addictional instructions
for FPU intensive tasks.

It scaled in speed from 200MHz to over 550Mhz
Extending the life of the socket 7 platform by
several years. It was also made in mobile and
embedded versions (lower voltage and higher
temperature tolerance.). It also used busses from 66-100Mhz.


Temp Spec: 70C
Bus: 100MHz

Starting with he 400 a new core was released
the 'CXT' core was faster and more efficient
in its caching routines.

This is an Engineering Sample.
The 400 was the most common engineering sample,
as it preceeded the relsease of the new core.
