Manufacturer:AMD
Model:K6
Speed:??
Type:K5
Data Code:??
Introduced:1997
Transistors:8.8 Million
Package:321 Ceramic SPGA w/ Heatspreader
Process:0.35 Micron
Architecture:32 bit CISC translated to RISC86
Used in:Computers
Description:The K6 was based on the Nexgen 686. AMD bought
Nexgen and used their RISC86 core which allowed
much higher speeds then the old K5 core.

K6's were made on 0.35 micron process originally
and then moved to 0.25 micron in 1998.
For a while AMD used a PR rating to equate
the K6 to the Pentium II, but since the PR was
the same as the actual speed, it was dropped.

This is an EXTREMELY rare K6
engineering sample. These were the earliest K6's
ever made. This is an unmarked chip, the bottom
though has writing about what wafer it was from etc
