AMD-K6™-2E Processor Data Sheet
The AMD-K6-2E processor is also compatible with DOS, OS/2, UNIX, and other
leading operating systems, including real-time operating systems (RTOS) commonly
used in embedded applications such as pSOS, QNX, RTXC, and VxWorks.
The AMD-K6-2E processor is compatible with more than 60,000 software
applications, including the latest software optimized for 3DNow! and MMX
technologies. AMD has shipped more than 120 million x86 microprocessors, including
more than 60 million Windows-compatible processors.
The AMD-K6-2E processor is among a long line of Microsoft Windows compatible
processors from AMD. The combination of state-of-the-art features, leading-edge
performance, high-performance multimedia engine, x86 compatibility, and low-cost
infrastructure enable decreased development costs and improved time-to-market,
making the AMD-K6-2E processor the superior choice for embedded systems.
1.2
The AMD-K6-2E processor is implemented using an advanced CMOS 0.25-micron
process technology that utilizes a split core and I/O voltage supply, which allows the
core of the processor to operate at a low voltage while the I/O portion operates at the
industry-standard 3.3 V.
This technology enables high performance while reducing power consumption by
operating the core at a low voltage and limiting power requirements to the acceptable
levels for today’s embedded systems.
1.3
All AMD-K6-2E processors remain pin compatible with existing Socket 7 solutions;
however, for maximum system performance, the 300-MHz, 350-MHz, and 400-MHz
versions of the processor work optimally in Super7 designs that incorporate advanced
features such as support for the 100-MHz frontside bus and AGP graphics.
AMD and its industry partners are investing in the future of Socket 7 with the new
Super7 platform initiative. The goal of the initiative is to maintain the competitive
vitality of the Socket 7 infrastructure through a series of enhancements, including
the development of an industry-standard 100-MHz processor bus protocol. In addition
to the 100-MHz processor bus protocol, the Super7 initiative includes the
introduction of chipsets that support the AGP specification and support for a
backside L2 cache and frontside L3 cache.
