Bone, Re: This is incorrect, the K6-3 had a 512k L2 cache.

Only 256KB of L2 was on die. The K6-III had additional cache off-die on the chipset.

Well, you can argue all that quantipoints/Mhz stuff until the cows come home. The rating seem about fair to me.

You said legitimately. You can argue all that quantipoints/Mhz stuff until the cows come home. The rating seem unfair to me.

This is incorrect, the K6-3 had a 256k L2 cache and was delayed almost as many times as Hammer. 256K is the highest AMD has ever been able to produce and that's with low fab output.
