AMD - K6

AMD's K6
line has been compared to Intel's Pentium II, but in reality it is somewhere in the middle of Pentium with MMX and Pentium II performance. The newest K6s support the 100MHz memory bus. AMD kept K6 prices 25% below comparably performing Intel chips. The K6 is the first AMD chip to offer MMX support, and the K6 is better at 3D and floating point operations than the Cyrix 6x86, but still comes up short when compared MHz for MHz with the Pentium II.
