Company Press Release
AMD Introduces 0.18 Micron Mobile AMD-K6-III+ and Mobile AMD-K6-2+
Processors
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2000--AMD today announced the
Mobile AMD-K6®-III+ and Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor families with speeds up
to 500MHz.
Hewlett-Packard Company has chosen the 475MHz Mobile AMD-K6-2+processor to
power its Pavilion 3215N notebook PC. Models are shipping immediately.
The first mobile devices to be manufactured on AMD's advanced 0.18 micron
technology, these processors support a number of notable features including
high-speed on-chip L2 cache, AMD's innovative PowerNow! battery saving
technology and an enhanced implementation of AMD's 3DNow!(tm) instruction
set with digital signal processing (DSP) instructions.
``AMD has had tremendous success with the previous generation of mobile
AMD-K6 processors, capturing more than 65 percent market share in the U.S.
retail notebook PC market, according to PC Data Inc. (February 2000), and
having a number of key commercial notebook PC design wins from leading
companies,'' said Steve Lapinski, director of product marketing for AMD's
Computation Products Group. ``AMD's 0.18 micron process technology is
allowing us to deliver these new mobile products incorporating features that
provide outstanding performance, integration and a great user experience at
all system price points.
About the Mobile AMD-K6®-III+ Processor
The Mobile AMD-K6-III+ processor is targeted at high performance notebooks.
Available in clock speeds of 500, 475 and 450MHz, this enhanced version
replaces the Mobile AMD-K6-III-P processor. The processor has a full-speed
256Kbyte on-die, Level 2 cache, and includes support for AMD's unique
TriLevel Cache(tm) design with optional external Level 3 cache of up to 1MB
for additional performance. The Mobile AMD-K6-III+ has a 100MHz front-side
bus, an enhanced implementation of AMD's 3DNow! instruction set with digital
signal processing (DSP) instructions, and support for AMD's PowerNow!
technology for better system battery life.
About the Mobile AMD-K6-2+ Processor
The Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor offers exceptional performance and features
for value notebook PCs. Available at 500, 475 and 450MHz, the processor
incorporates 128Kbyte on-chip, Level 2 cache, support for AMD's innovative
PowerNow! technology, an enhanced implementation of AMD's 3DNow! instruction
set with digital signal processing (DSP) instructions, and a 100MHz
front-side bus.
Both the Mobile AMD-K6-III+ and Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processors operate at a
core voltage of 2.0 Volts, have an extended case temperature rating of 85
degrees Celsius, and dissipate as little as 3 Watts of power running in
PowerNow! battery-saver mode of operation. The processors are available in
Socket 7/Super7(tm) platform-compatible 321-pin Ceramic Pin Grid Array
packages, and are manufactured at AMD's Fab 25 wafer fabrication facility in
Austin, Texas.
About PowerNow! Technology
Developed by AMD, PowerNow! technology enables high-performance and extended
battery life in the same system. PowerNow! allows the processor to operate
at different clock speeds and voltages, depending on the user's need for
maximum performance or maximum battery life. On AC power, the processor
typically runs at maximum frequency and normal voltage. When running off the
battery, the processor can run at a lower frequency and voltage to extend
battery life. Intermediate modes of operation are also possible, where the
system can balance battery life vs. performance needs. Processor mode
changes are transparent and occur automatically, based on user preferences;
however, a simple Microsoft Windows® control panel interface allows the user
the choice of running in other modes.
PowerNow! technology requires specific notebook system and BIOS support. AMD
is working with OEMs and its development partners such as Phoenix
Technologies, to help enable the delivery of systems to market with full
support for PowerNow! technology later this year.
About 3DNow!(tm) Technology
3DNow! technology, developed by AMD, was the first innovation to the x86
architecture that significantly enhanced floating-point-intensive 3D
graphics and multimedia applications. 3DNow! uses single instruction
multiple data (SIMD) and other performance enhancements to provide a
compelling visual computing experience.
The worldwide installed base of 3DNow! technology-enhanced PCs has grown to
more than 25 million desktop and notebook systems spanning all price points.
Support for 3DNow! technology exists today in leading industry-standard
application programming interfaces (APIs), including Microsoft DirectX 6.0
and 7.0, and SGI's OpenGL APIs. Additionally, numerous hardware and software
products have been optimized for 3DNow! technology.
The Mobile AMD-K6-III+ and Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processors include an enhanced
version of 3DNow! technology with new instructions to support digital signal
processing (DSP) functions for applications such as MP3 recording, Dolby
Digital and Surround Sound processing and soft xDSL modems.

technology, visit the AMD Web site at

 Era proprio il caso di postare una cosa simile? Io penso di no.
Era proprio il caso di quotare TUTTO il messaggio per scrivere UNA riga? Io
penso di no.
in ogni caso, a parte il fatto che si è scordato di scrivere [LUNGO] nel subj,
io trovo che il post fosse interessante e, soprattutto, piuttosto attinente al
NG.
Cerchiamo di essere gentili, forza...

 perchè per colpa d'altri, vada come vada

 Austin, Texas.
Scusate se dico una cavolata, ma il fatto che siano disponibili nel "S7
compatible 321-pin Ceramic PGA", non significa che, sostanzialmente, possono
essere montati anche sulle nostre MB S7? ovviamente ci vorrebbero MB che
supportano i 2.0V di core... ma sono parecchie a farlo...
Che ne dite? sto dicendo una stupidagine?

mah.. se qlc fa un adattatore.. 
le specifiche sono da sup7 ed il voltaggio e' di 2.0v
non so se saranno vendute pero', tranne che per i portatili.. 
eppoi la freq non e' molto alta.. solo 500 Mhz.. mi aspettavo 
qlcs di piu' dal processo .18.  vero che non finisce qui.
i bench sono visibili al sito di AMD.
(c'e' una FORTE differenza fra 2+ e III+ nei bench.. anche di prezzo pero')
ciao r.d.

 secondo voi sono adattabili al socket 7 ???
C'e` scritto "socket7/super7 compatible", credo che a
parte il Vcore (2.0) per il resto non dovrebbero esserci
problemi (salvo piedini di powerdown).
Basta controllare sui data sheet (cioe` leggersi i 321 piedini
e le relative specifiche elettriche).

 Direi proprio di no !
Perche`?

Già e ora compro un portatile da 5 milioni per il solo processore???
Secondo me mica li vendono sfusi, e in ogni caso non si troverebbero....
Preò la mia mobo supporta i 2,0V ...ssllluuurrrrrpppp...... =P° ~ ~ ~ ~
Spero come voi che sia possibile... Soprattutto per i K6 III+

mah.. se qlc fa un adattatore.. 
il problema e', come al solito, trovarli in commercio...
quanti rivenditori hanno a listino, ad esempio, dei Pentium mobile?

Letto su AcesHardware:
I design systems using AMD processors.  A few weeks ago we received 2
samples of the K6-III+ @ 450Mhz that operate much cooler than the
older 2.4 or 2.2 version of the part (in our systems we see case temp.
drop ~13 c).  I tried one on an Asus P5A (the part is mech and elec
match to socket 7) core voltage (at least my samples) 2.0v.  The BIOS
did not recognize the part. It showed that I had installed a generic
450Mhz processor with MMX.  The system was unstable an slow.  For this
part to work properly you will need a BIOS update should one ever be
generated for the desktop.  The part was developed for mobile and
embedded applications. 
A quanto pare è indispensabile il supporto della bios.....
Ciao

A quanto pare è indispensabile il supporto della bios.....
beh.. fosse solo quello .. il problema e' . AMD vendera' i III+ come
spare parts e non solo come ricambi per portatile??
ciao r.d.
