Eh, sad imam neke nove informacije:
Cyrix 150+ kod druga daje index 41 u norton za win95(mada sam kod
nekih vidjao i manje recimo 37, ali recimo da je to max koji sam video)
Intel 150 daje u proseku oko 37- 39 u istom programu.
sto se tice 133:
Cyrix 133+ daje u pomenutom programu (ono sto sam ja video) 35-37
P5 133 daje najvise sto sam video 35, a uglavnom 32-34
Po nekim mojim iskustvima,cyrix 133 radi lepo, ali gubi bitku
kao sto smo vec pricali, na nekim poljima(iako testovi pokazuju
da je brzi)

Da, oba rade na 100Mhz, samo što je ovaj drugi (prilično) brži. To je
verovatno posledica drugačije (čitaj: naprednije) arhitekture.
#> I da josh neshto , na kojoj frekvenciji im rade magistrale?

Za verziju od 133, magistrala radi na 66Mhz, pomnoženo za 1.5.

Ja mislim da je tako. Tu su naši preprodavci i najmanje krivi.
Krivi su dobavljači, oni vrlo dobro znaju gde se kupuje original
a gde se kupuju remarkirani procesori.
Pre nekih godinu i po, kada još nije bilo tih sa kulerom, probao
sam jedan Pentium na 90, pouzdano original. Reko da vidim može li
da se overklokuje (izričito sam inače protiv toga) i bacim ga na
120. Posle sat vremena mi se blokirala mašina, reko - ne može.
Krenem da vratim džampere i ustanovim da je jedan kabl zakačio
ventilator - on je sat vremena radio na 120 bez ventilatora!
Posle toga sam ga jedno mesec-dva držao tako dok cela mašina
odjednom nije počela da biva nestabilna.
Taj isti procesor (pouzdano original) sam takođe stavio pored
jednog koji je proizveo neznani junak i na kome je _pisalo_ 120.
Oba bez hladnjaka, čisto na minut da vidim kako se koji greje.
Nakon 10 sekundi ovaj remarkirani je bio _vreo_, a ovaj
deklarisani na 90 koji je radio na 120 samo vruć.
Sve u svemu, da ga pipnem znao bi da ti kažem da li je original. :)
Pravi Intel ima veliku rezervu za prestanak hlađenja, znatno se
manje greje od AMD-a (remarkovi se greju i više od AMD-a) i to je
ono što me je opredelilo za Intel. Cyrix nisam na žalost imao
prilike da probam, ali ako bih ga i uzimao uzeo bih proizveden u
IBM-u, posebno nakon priče koju sam čuo u vezi početka njihove
saradnje. :)
Ako imaš tower kućište, skini poklopac i nakon jedno pola sata
vremena rada pipni matičnu ploču sa donje strane, na mestu gde je
procesor. Ako možeš da držiš prst normalno, zatvori kućište i
mirno spavaj. :)

Intel prodaje procesore u dva pakovanja: box (sa ugradjenim coolerom)

Teško. Naslušao sam se raznih recepata o obliku slova, tehnologiji upisa,
zlatnim potpisima i slično. Nije čak ni merenje najvišeg mogućeg takta
neka pouzdana indikacija pošto Intel izgleda ima neku drugu tehnologiju
klasifikovanja procesora u seriji.
Ja nabavljam od dugogodišnjeg pouzdanog isporučioca koji mi kaže "ovo su
ovi a ovo su oni" (ne zato što me voli ili što je extra pošten nego što
mu redovno ostavljam velike pare pa ne bi rizikovao da predjem kod drugog).
Prosta provera mi je (smejaćeš se) redjanje po 10-tak komada jednih i
drugih pa je "nebrušena" gomila obično malo viša ;)) Ako neko zna bolji
sistem za koji nisu već čuli i "prepisivači" na Istoku...
Box verzije jesu u principu pouzdaniji izbor, čak nisu ni skuplje
napolju (!) ali ih dobavljači nerado uzimaju (lakše je ocariniti
kutiju coolera, a procesore nositi po džepovima ;).
Lično verujem da i sam Intel ima u celom tom biznisu umešane prste
(rešava se sporih verzija po boljim cenama a škartove pripisuje
Kinezima) tako da siguran sistem za identifikaciju teško da će biti
pronadjen. "Sreća" je što procesori brzo zastarevaju pa ako rade
dobro tokom garantnog roka, posle su već jeftini.
mikroprocesori.243nenad,
AMD će uskoro početi da prodaje svoj K6 procesor, startovaće sa
200MHz i imaće licencirane MMX ekstenzije. On treba da
predstavlja konkurenciju Pentium Pro-u i biće oko 25% jeftiniji
od njega.

Nije problem, ali računam da se onima koji rade remarkaciju ne
isplati da simuliraju celo pakovanje, uključujući kutiju,
sertifikat, uputstvo...

Ja imam proc. bez "zalepljenog" hladnjaka (p5 133) na kome je "urezano" 133
(nije stampano). Greje se sasvim pristojno- posle nekog vremena se zamlaci.
Uz procesor sam dobio i sertifikat "Intel original" sa suhim zigom Intela.
Pa predpostavljam da postoje i takvi originali.
Inace u poslednje vreme (3-4) meseca nisam vido nigde >nove<
procesore sa crnim zalepljenim hladnjakom.
Sto se tice testa sa pipanjem nije bas sve tako jednostavno :)
Mislim ajde pokusaj da over clockujes p5 133 na 150 i videces
da ne daje rezultate kao orig. na 150 (sefte sto se jos i greje mnogo vise)

Ta "pakovanja za krajnjeg kupca" naši (i ruski i drugi) dileri (skoro) nikad
ne kupuju na Istoku pa se verovatno i ne remarkiraju. To uzimaju samo lokalni
korisnici za sebe u maloprodaji PC opreme (i plaćaju više jer oni i ne mogu
doći do trgovaca na veliko) dok se za proizvodnju i dalju prodaju uzimaju
"OEM pakovanja" procesora sa količinama (50, 100... nedavno je firma koju
znam kupila pakovanje od 1000 komada istog procesora).
Izuzetak je Pentium Pro koji retko ko uzima u količinama, ali se obično

DRAM prices likely to keep falling, PC users to gain
Though forecasting DRAM market movements remains an inexact
science at best, a reading of the most recent tea leaves shows
continued lower prices of mainstream memory and, on the horizon,
notebook PCs equipped with higher density memory chips.
Ongoing turmoil in the market has left analysts and many vendors
unsure of even near-term price and demand changes.
"The DRAM market is still unclear," said Naoki Sato, director,
technology research at Morgan Grenfell Capital Markets Ltd., in
Tokyo. The growth of the market in terms of unit volume cannot be
fairly projected, he said.
Market researcher Dataquest said Tuesday that the current
oversupply of DRAMs, though lessening since last year, should
continue through this year, adding downward pricing pressure on
the chips.
Makers of the mainstream 16Mb DRAMs, which are used as the main
memory in PCs, are still scrambling to reverse an oversupply that
has helped bring prices of memory to record lows. That trend may
gain momentum in the next month as some Japanese vendors try to
sweep out excess inventories in advance of Japan's fiscal year's
end on March 31, some analysts said.
South Korean vendors, led by the world's biggest DRAM supplier
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., late last month announced plans to
cut back on production and sales of 16Mb parts.
The prices of 16Mb DRAMs are "getting close to a point where the
market price and production cost do not break even," Samsung
said. "Until the prices rise to a reasonable level, the
regulation of the 16Mb DRAM production capacity will continue."
The fact that Hyundai Electronics Industries Co. Ltd. and LG
Semicon Co. Ltd. also announced similar plans caused some
Seoul-based analysts to speculate that the Korean government was
behind the moves.
"When all three of them do the same thing at the same time that's
often an indication that there is a little bit of orchestration
going on," said one Seoul-based analyst, who asked not to be
named. "These companies are not inherently in love with each
other."
Although 16Mb DRAM prices on the open market rose on the news,
reaching as high as $8 from a low of nearly $5 a few months ago,
the underlying pricing pressures are likely to drive prices back
down again, analysts said.
For the DRAM vendors, however, "it's a window of opportunity,
it's a short-term phenomenon," said Peter Wolff, senior analyst
at ING Baring Securities (Japan) Ltd.
Japanese vendors are also expected to start cutting back on 16Mb
DRAM production in coming months, officials said.
NEC, for example, will top its 16Mb production off in March at
about 13 million units per month and will gradually lower that to
about 10 million by year's end, according to a company
representative. On the 64Mb DRAM front, the company will double
its monthly production to 1 million units in the year to March,
he said.
"Basically the recession in the DRAM market hit everyone hard,
and we took our fair share of the punches," the representative
said. "At lower-end DRAMs you are talking about a commodity
market, so we see much more advantage for ourselves and our
customers in moving up to the high end."
Users, therefore, should continue to see bargain prices on memory
modules for at least the next few months, but some analysts
warned that if vendors take the glut cleanup too far, users may
see slight price jumps in the middle part of 1997.
Users should also benefit from vendors attempting to cushion
themselves from falling 16Mb DRAM prices by shifting to the
next-generation 64Mb chips sooner than planned, analysts said.
If 64Mb DRAM production volumes reach a level that enables prices
to be lowered, 64Mb chips will begin trickling down into high-end
notebooks from their current uses in mainframes, workstations,
and servers, analysts said.
The outcome largely depends on NEC and Samsung, which will lead
an emerging battle for the dominant 64Mb DRAM market position,
according to Akira Minamikawa, a Tokyo-based semiconductor
analyst at IDC Japan Ltd.
"NEC quoted very aggressive February prices on 64 Megs in Japan,"
Minamikawa said. NEC is hoping that "if the prices are cheap
enough for vendors, the notebook computer market will shift to 64
Meg quickly, then NEC might get a big market share in 64 Megs."
In addition to trying to push the pricing envelope on the higher
density 64Mb chips, the leading Japanese and Korean vendors are
also trying to speed up the market transition to higher
performance synchronous DRAMs, in an effort to leave weaker
competitors, such as the Taiwanese vendors, in the dust, analysts
said.
"They are trying to take the Taiwanese out at the knees," said
one analyst.
At the same time, however, the heavy dependence of many Japanese
and Korean vendors on memory chips, combined with the generally
bleak outlook for DRAMs, is causing many vendors to try to branch
out into what are perceived to be more stable markets in
non-memory semiconductors, they added.
Samsung, for example, has signed manufacturing deals for Digital
Equipment's Alpha chips as well as Microsoft's forthcoming
Talisman media processors, said Matt Cleary, an electronics
analyst at securities broker HG Asia's Seoul office.
"Samsung was chosen for those because it's huge, it's got lots of
capacity, and because it also has a systems capacity that
hopefully can drive some of these applications," said Cleary.

Intel's 64-bit 'Merced' chip won't ship until 1999
Intel Corp.'s first 64-bit processor, code-named Merced, is now
scheduled to hit the market sometime in 1999. Contrary to widely
published reports that late 1998 was the target date for the
processor, Intel spokeswoman Marion Koehler said the company has
never publicly committed to a time frame except to say the chip
would be released by the year 2000.
The shift means that Microsoft Corp.'s 64-bit version of Windows
NT won't appear until 1999. Microsoft and Intel executives said
at last September's NetWorld+Interop show that they would
synchronize the release of their respective 64-bit products.
Merced is a high-end server processor with both CISC and RISC
properties. Intel worked with Hewlett-Packard Co. on the initial
design; however, Intel will be responsible for manufacturing,
marketing and licensing.

Nije, čak šta više radi na nekih 60% frekvencije u odnosu na ove
testirane, a i cena je prilično manja. Verovatno je u izbor
uključen jer predstavlja trenutno najjači procesor firme Cyrix, a
i izbor tzv. "consumer" marketa.

biti dobra podrška i dobici u brzini i za 16-bitne instrukcije

Intel opet tuži, ovoga puta i AMD i Cyrix, ovoga puta zbog MMX-a.
Intel files suit against AMD, Cyrix over MMX moniker
Intel on Friday filed suit against chip vendors Advanced Micro
Devices and Cyrix in U.S. District Court in Delaware, claiming
the companies have infringed on Intel's trademark on MMX.
The MMX acronym stands for the multimedia extension technology
that is built in to Intel's latest microprocessors.
The suit alleges that AMD and Cyrix have designed and begun
implementing strategies to improperly leverage Intel's
investment in the MMX name, which Intel claims could result in
confusion in the minds of consumers as they make buying
decisions.
The suit seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
along with unspecified damages and fees.
Neither Cyrix nor AMD, which both plan to release their own
multimedia-enabled processors, believe the MMX moniker is
Intel's exclusive property.
"We plan to vigorously defend our right to use what we believe
is a generic industry term," said an AMD representative. "We do
not believe Intel's attempt to trademark the term is
supportable."
This is a minor skirmish that does not involve technology, just
a term, the representative said.
"We have intellectual property rights to all x86 instructions
through a cross-licensing agreement with Intel," the
representative noted.
Cyrix officials said Friday that they had not yet been notified
of the lawsuit and declined further comment.

Intel tužba nije omela AMD-a i Cyrix da najave nove procesore.
AMD po prvi put prestiže Intel i K6 će već u startu raditi na
233MHz. Intelov Pentium II će raditi i na više, ali će se na
tržištu pojaviti mesec dana kasnije.
AMD, Cyrix prepare to assault the hot MMX market
Advanced Micro Devices and Cyrix are set to give Intel a run
for its money, as all three chip vendors prepare to launch
their next-generation MMX-enhanced processors during the second
quarter.
While AMD is angling to take on Intel at the high end, Cyrix
will focus on the entry-level and midrange PC segments,
officials said during the CeBit trade show here this week.
Intel, meanwhile, last Friday took a first shot at its
competitors with the announcement that it has filed a lawsuit
accusing AMD and Cyrix of infringing its MMX trademark.
The suit, however, will not delay the release of K6, which will
be launched on April 2, AMD officials said. The initial
iterations of the K6 series are expected to run at clock speeds
ranging from 166 MHz to 233 MHz, with a 266-MHz version to
follow later this year, sources said.
The timing comes none too soon, as computers based on Intel's
MMX chip quickly seized 27 percent of U.S. retail desktop PC
sales in January, according to new research. In the retail
channels tracked by the StoreBoard service of market researcher
Computer Intelligence, MMX-based machines made up the largest
category of desktop PCs purchased in consumer electronics
superstores, where they accounted for nearly two out of every
five desktop machines sold in January.
In anticipation of such burgeoning sales, AMD is positioning
the MMX-compatible K6 as a viable competitor to Intel's Pentium
II, which is expected to be announced in May and to initially
run at clock speeds of 233 MHz and 266 MHz.
In fact, AMD is so committed to taking on Intel at the high end
of the market that it will halt any future investment in its
Pentium-class K5 series, said Dana Krelle, director of
marketing in AMD's computation products group.
Cyrix, not to be outdone, will start limited volume shipments
of its next-generation chip -- code-named M2 -- in June, said
Lew Paceley, Cyrix's vice president of marketing. This could
give AMD a short window for boasting the fastest x86 chip on
the market, although Intel reportedly is already shipping
samples of a 300-MHz Pentium II to selected customers, industry
observers said.
In addition, both the K6 and M2 chips will fit into the same
Socket 7 that houses today's Pentium chips, while Intel's
Pentium II will require a new motherboard architecture
featuring the new Slot 1 processor card interface.
Consequently, major PC vendors are paying close attention to
the AMD and Cyrix offerings.
Intel should expect PC makers to give these MMX-oriented clone
chips a close look, observers said.
AMD and Cyrix make pretty good chips, said David Winn, general
manager of IBM's PC division for Europe, Middle East, and
Africa, and IBM is looking at their offerings with an open
mind.
"[AMD's] K6 looks like a burner," said Winn, who is based in
Paris.
IBM, however, currently has no product plans in place for the
AMD and Cyrix processors, Winn added, and the company now has a
closer alliance with Intel than it had in the past.
This issue of Intel's influence over PC vendors could well be
the largest obstacle facing both AMD and Cyrix in their battles
for more market share. Intel's dominant position in the x86
processor business often makes PC vendors think twice about
using chips from alternative suppliers, industry insiders said.
Market-leading PC maker Compaq, for example, has made a
last-minute decision to wait on deploying PCs powered by AMD's
K6 chips, sources close to the companies said.
"[Compaq] needs Intel for the server business, and decided that
being one of AMD's first K6 customers is not worth risking the
wrath of Intel," one source said.
Compaq is currently the world's largest PC vendor, and also
tops the PC server rankings, according to leading market
researchers such as Dataquest and International Data Corp.
AMD officials last week remained tight-lipped about prospective
customers, but Krelle said that at least one top ten PC vendor
would be among its first K6 customers. Speculation over who
that vendor might be was rife at the CeBit show, with names
such as Compaq, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Taiwan's Acer Group
all circulating through the rumor mill.
In an interview, Acer's Chairman and CEO Stan Shih did not
exclude the possibility.
"We are trying to meet the market requirements -- no matter
which product or component," Shih said. "So we are making
ourselves flexible."
The battle for a larger piece of Intel pie is certain to
continue. Cyrix last week released a few details about its
forthcoming M2 offering. The M2 will be MMX-compatible, include
64KB of on-chip cache, and feature enhanced memory management,
Paceley said. Performance will be as much as twice that of the
company's current high-end offering, the 6x86, when running
32-bit applications.
Paceley also claimed that Cyrix's internal benchmarks tests
show that a 166-MHz M2 is faster than a 200-MHz Intel Pentium
Pro chip. The M2 will reach clock-speeds as high as 233 MHz
before year's end, he added.
At the entry level, Cyrix is promoting its recently released
MediaGX processor as a sub-$100 alternative for PC makers
targeting the lower end of the PC market, officials said.
Compaq last month became Cyrix's first customer of the MediaGX
when it launched the $999 Presario 2100, which is powered by a
133-MHz version of the chip.
However, Cyrix is also readying a faster, MMX-enhanced 200-MHz
version of the chip, code-named GXm, which it plans to
introduce before year's end, Paceley said.

Intel je predstavio svoj Pentium II procesor, dao snažnu podršku
OpenGL-u što se donekle kosi sa MS-ovim planovima sa Direct3D-om,
ali je po prvi put demonstrirao i AGP - Accelerated Graphics
Port, tehnologiju koja treba da omogući mnogo brže video karte na
Inetel-ovoj platformi od današnjih, tako što (skoro) potpuno
zaobilazi PCI magistralu i omogućava procesoru direktan pristup
grafičkom podsistemu.
Intel sets the stage for a new era of graphics on PCs
Intel at its Platforms for Visual Computing conference here
Monday unveiled major initiatives to drive workstation-level
3-D graphics performance into Intel-architecture PCs with
demonstrations of its Pentium II processor, a deeper commitment
to the OpenGL API, the first demonstrations of Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP) hardware, and details of a new division
founded to help OEMs bring Intel-based workstations to market.
"We are looking to improve quality and level of interactivity
on the Intel platform by a factor of ten in the next three
years," said Craig Barrett, chief operating officer at Intel.
The company said it is developing next-generation technology
for its AGP technology to more tightly link the graphics
controller to the chip set in the system to ship in 2000, and
will increase bandwidth of that port by two to four times over
the next several years.
Strategic partner Microsoft said it will support the AGP
technology in release 5.0 of its Windows NT operating system
expected later this year and will "leverage" AGP memory in its
Direct X APIs.
"The transition [from 2-D] to 3D, like text to graphics and
monochrome to color before it, is under way," said Andy
Fischer, a senior analyst at Jon Peddie Associates, in Tiburon,
Calif. "The hardware arrives first, letting developers explore
ways for mainstream applications to exploit it."
With the formal introduction of the Pentium II (formerly
Klamath) still weeks away, Intel will allow vendors to show off
their graphics hardware on early-production CPUs and AGP
interface chips. New graphics chips, for example, require
Pentium II performance and AGP, which is only available from
Intel on the Pentium II platform, explained one vendor.
The company is also spurring the development of synchronous
DRAM and RAM bus, which promise 500Mbps and greater than 2Gbps
of data throughput in the coming years.
Barrett promised that the graphics technologies currently being
developed will find its way downstream to desktop PCs, bringing
better graphics to low-cost computers.
Unfortunately, vendors will not be able to show their wares to
the best advantage, because the Pentium II systems have
problems with both the processors and the AGP interfaces, the
vendor said. "They're dogs at the moment."
The vendor pointed out, though, that Intel should have these
problems solved by the time devices ship in volume. "They still
have time to work it out," the vendor said.
Meanwhile, Intel will be working on OpenGL technology licensed
from Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI). Intel has expanded its
interest in OpenGL from a Level 2 licensee, which gives them
access to sample source code, to Level 3, which will allow
Intel to redistribute OpenGL source code to its customers, who
can optimize the code for their hardware configurations,
explained John Schimpf, OpenGL product manager at SGI.
SGI will also be naming other firms that have signed on as
Level 3 OpenGL licensees. These include graphics chip vendors
3Dfx and Rendition; graphics card suppliers Number Nine Visual
Technologies, Elsa, and AccelGraphics; computer OEMs such as
Compaq; and software driver house InterDimension.
Use of Open GL on Intel-architecture platforms will bring with
it a wide array of graphics software, helping to accelerate the
flow of technology from workstations to personal computers,
noted Schimpf.
Also focusing on the flow of technologies between volume PCs
and workstations is a new Intel division, based in Dupont,
Wash. Intel expects this focus to drive the platform and
product advances necessary to support visual computing
applications, which will be the theme of the Platforms for
Visual Computing conference, in San Jose, Calif.
At the conference, chip vendors will show their latest
AGP-enabled 3-D graphics accelerators. ATI Technologies will
show off its 133-MHz 3D Rage Pro, Cirrus will demonstrate its
Laguna3D-AGP, S3 will launch the Virge/GX2 3-D accelerator with
television output, Trident will unveil an AGP version of the
3DImage 975, and 3Dlabs will introduce the high-end Glint Gamma
3-D accelerator.

AMD je izbacio na tržište svoj procesor K6 sa MMX instrukcijama!!!
8.8miliona tranzistora, 0.35-mikronska tehnologija, radni takt 233,200 i
166MHz.
Detaljnije u narednim porukama...
SUNNYVALE, CA--APRIL 2, 1997--AMD today announced it has begun shipments of
its sixth-generation AMD-K6TM MMX processor, the personal computer industry's
highest performance Microsoft« Windows« compatible x86 microprocessor.
"With today's announcement AMD has changed the competitive landscape of the
PC industry," said W.J. Sanders III, chairman and chief executive officer of
AMD.
"Today marks the return of competition in Windows compatible processors. We
have already shipped thousands of units and are ramping production in order
to ship hundreds of thousands of AMD-K6 devices this quarter and millions
more during the balance of the year," said Sanders.
Equipped with x86 instruction set multimedia extensions (MMX), the AMD-K6
processor is the fastest x86 processor for desktop computers. This processor
brings sixth-generation performance and MMX capability using the optimum
performance provided by the existing, low-cost Socket 7 infrastructure.
The Superior Engine for Windows Computing
Based on tests using the industry-standard Ziff-Davis Winstone 97 benchmark,
the AMD-K6 processor provides the best Windows-based performance of any PC
processor. This performance stems from AMD's advanced, six-issue RISC86«
superscalar microarchitecture.
Winstone 97 tests show that a system based on the highest performance AMD-K6
processor delivers superior performance to a comparably configured system
based on the fastest available Pentium Pro processor when running either the
Windows NTTM or Windows« 95 operating system.
AMD-K6 family members introduced today include products at clock frequencies
of 233, 200 and 166 MHz.
"The AMD-K6 processor is smaller, faster, easier to use, more energy efficient
and less expensive than Pentium Pro, making it the superior engine for Windows
computing," said Sanders. "It will enable systems manufacturers and resellers
to deliver differentiated, high-performance, MMX-capable desktop systems at
affordable prices and expand the market. Competition is good.

"The AMD-K6 processor is smaller, faster, easier to use, more energy efficient
and less expensive than Pentium Pro, making it the superior engine for Windows
computing," said Sanders. "It will enable systems manufacturers and resellers
to deliver differentiated, high-performance, MMX-capable desktop systems at
affordable prices and expand the market. Competition is good."
Socket 7 Compatibility for the Optimum Desktop Solution
More than any other available sixth-generation processor, the AMD-K6 processor
is designed to enhance the affordability of high-performance, MMX-capable
personal computers. It was designed to be compatible with the Socket 7
environment because Socket 7 is the industry's optimum-performance desktop PC
design platform.
Socket 7 also is the industry's most cost-effective and widely used PC
infrastructure (motherboards, chipsets, and BIOS). More than 80 percent of
the approximately 75 million desktop personal computers expected to ship in
1997 will employ the Socket 7 infrastructure.
By working within the robust Socket 7 environment, PC manufacturers and
resellers can leverage today's existing, high-volume, low-cost system designs.
Because Socket 7 is a proven infrastructure, manufacturers benefit by using
the high-performance AMD-K6 processor without the increased research and
development costs associated with a new platform. This speeds time to market
and provides for more affordable high-performance systems. Socket 7
compatibility will also enable an easier, more cost-effective upgrade path to
future high-performance members family.
"New platforms from our principal competitor require systems manufacturers to
use new motherboard designs that increase their cost structure, allow no
flexibility for differentiation, and ultimately provide no new benefit to end
users," said Sanders.
AMD is working closely with third-party suppliers to ensure a Socket 7
infrastructure that supports the AMD-K6 processor and successor AMD
processors with a wide range of optimized, feature-rich and affordable
solutions. Chipset products for the AMD-K6 are available from key members
of AMD's FusionPCsm program, including Acer Labs, ITE, National Semiconductor,
OPTi, SiS and VIA. BIOS support is provided by leading third-party suppliers,
including American Megatrends, Inc., Award Software, and Phoenix.
To augment third-party solutions, AMD recently introduced a highly integrated
chipset solution, the AMD-640TM Chipset, which delivers high performance for
Socket 7-compatible processors.

at $469; the AMD-K6-200 at $349; and the AMD-K6-166 at $244, each in
1,000-unit quantities.
"With the AMD-K6 processor, systems manufacturers can have it all -- highest
performance and lowest price," Sanders concluded.

Socket 7 je naziv onog standardnog "ležišta" za Pentium
procesore. AMD-ov čip iako u klasi P6 se "umeće" u njega, dakle
za razliku od Pentium Pro-a i II ne zahteva nova kućišta, nove
ploče i sl. Pod "Socket 7 infrastrutkurom" verovatno se
podrazumeva veliki broj takvih ploča, čipsetova, proizvođača..

AMD K6 Arrives
(4/2/97) -- Starting today, the Pentium Pro has a peer. The AMD-K6/PR-233,
announced today, is $56 cheaper per part (in 1,000 unit quantities) than
Intel's sixth generation CPU, yet offers comparable performance.This 233-MHz
chip and its two siblings--the K6/PR-166 and the K6/PR-200--plug into the same
socket as the Classic Pentium and are fully compatible with the x86
instruction set.
The AMD-K6 began life as a NexGen processor known as the Nx686. When AMD
purchased its California-based competitor in the spring of last year, the chip
was re-named, but its development team remained intact. While AMD engineers
in Austin, Texas, completed the K5 and leapfrogged to a K7 project, erstwhile
NexGen employees in San Jose continued work on their sixth-generation design.
Inside the Chip
A year later, AMD has announced a processor capable of competing with Intel's
leading architectures. Manufactured on a 0.35-micron five-layer-metal process,
the K6 is almost twenty percent smaller (162mm2 to 196mm2) than a Pentium Pro
yet contains 3.3 million more transistors (8.8 million to 5.5 million).
Most of these additional transistors reside in the chip's primary cache, which
--at 64K--is larger than that of any other x86 processor.
Like the Pentium Pro, the K6 owes a great deal to classic RISC designs. Using
AMD's RISC86 superscaler microarchitecture, the chip decodes each x86
instruction into a series of simpler operations that can then be processed
using typical RISC principles--such as out-of-order execution, register
renaming, branch prediction, data forwarding, and speculative execution.
AMD has also included support for Intel's MMX Technology, which includes 57
new x86 instructions designed to enhance and accelerate multimedia software.
In January, Intel filed suit against both AMD and Cyrix Corp. over use the
MMX moniker, but the case has yet to be ruled upon.
Cost-Cutting Strategy
Despite its sixth-generation internal architecture, the K6 does not use
sixth-generation packaging: Its pinout matches that of a classic Pentium. As
Intel readies its Pentium II processor and the so-called Slot 1 architecture,
AMD is resting its hopes on the venerable Socket 7. The company intends to
leverage the market's widespread Pentium-based infrastructure--which has yet
to be supplanted by the Pentium Pro platform--and thus keep K6 system prices
to a minimum.
Not only can manufacturers reduce costs by using existing chipsets and
motherboards (ATX, LPX, or Baby AT), but the processor itself is relatively
inexpensive. While a 200-MHz Pentium Pro chip with 256K of onboard secondary
cache sells for $525 (in quantities of 1,000), AMD has priced the 233-MHz K6
at $469. Even if the cost of an L2 cache (roughly $20) is considered, the K6
still provides more performance per dollar. Priced at $244 and $349
respectively, the 166- and 200-MHlative bargains as well.
The Bottom Line
AMD is naming each version of the K6 to reflect its performance (based on
AMD's in-house testing) relative to the Pentium Pro. In other words, the
K6/PR2-200 ostensibly compares favorably to the Pentium Pro/200 while the
K6/PR2-233 would match the performance of a 233-MHz Pentium Pro (were one in
existence). Coincidentally, the first K6 chips have PR2 ratings that match
their clock speeds.
Based on our testing of a K6 reference machine, however, we would conclude
that the performance of a 233-MHz K6 is essentially on a par with that of the
200-MHz Pentium Pro. Its Winstone score is higher than the average Pentium
Pro's score, but these scores are greatly affected by the K6 reference
machine's disk subsystem, which was significantly beefier than any of the
Pentium Pro systems we tested.--Cade Metz
mikroprocesori.297zoran.r,
JoÜ malo o novom AMD K6 procesoru...(2)
--------------------------------------
AMD has reduced the fabrication costs of its K6 processor by adopting IBM
Microelectronics' C4 flip-chip interconnection technology. Prior to packaging,
the underside of the K6 die bears a scattering of small solder bumps, each of
which abuts an I/O circuit. According to the C4 process, the die is flipped
over onto a ceramic package, where the solder bumps meet a matching set of
metallurgical pads. The resulting article is then placed in a furnace and
baked, so that the solder pads and forms a series of reliable electrical
connections.
With the typical silicon die, diminutive wires rather than solder bumps are
used for I/O. While these wires are relegated to a die's perimeter, C4 solder
bumps can reside anywhere on a die's underbelly. Thus, the C4 process results
in a smaller die size and lower fabrication costs. Ostensibly, it also
improves electrical performance by shortening the distance from die to
package.
Once the die is married to its 321-pin ceramic pin grid array (CPGA) package,
a heat spreader is placed directly on top of the die. PC manufacturers can
then attach a typical processor fan or heat sink to the spreader. The K6 is
rather cool relative to its sixth-generation competition. Using a dual voltage
design Ó la the MMX Pentium, it interfaces at 3.3 volts while its core runs at
2.9 volts. This keeps heat dissipation down to about 15 watts--well below that
of a Pentium Pro.
mikroprocesori.298zoran.r,
JoÜ malo o novom AMD K6 procesoru...(3)
--------------------------------------
With the K6 offering Pentium Pro-level performance, AMD hopes to eventually
control twenty to thirty percent of the single-user PC market. The path to
such a goal is beset by two major obstacles: the Pentium II and the reluctance
of leading PC vendors to use non-Intel chips.
The Pentium II will likely debut at 266-MHz by the end of the second quarter
and should outperform the K6. Though this MMX-enabled version of the Pentium
Pro will probably carry a higher price tag than AMD's chip, it marks the
arrival of Slot 1--a motherboard architecture that will likely be used with
each new Intel processor from now to the millennium.
Both the Pentium II and its secondary cache will reside on a small card
encased in plastic and metal. This SEC cartridge will have an edge connector
that fits neatly into Slot 1. Upgrading to a forthcoming Intel chip--such as
Deschutes in 1998 or Willamette in 1999--may be as easy pulling out one SEC
cartridge and sliding in another.
With the recent introduction of the MMX Pentium, however, Socket 7 is far
from extinct. If the K6 can supply Pentium II-level performance from a cheaper
platform, end users may postpone their leap to Slot 1. Of course, AMD must
reach vendors before reaching end users. Though companies such as CyberMax
and Direct Wave will be offering K6 systems in April, none of the leading PC
sellers--as of press time--have agreed to use the chip.
Intel's Ire
It's unlikely that one of the market's top five vendors will adopt the K6
regardless of how it compares to the Pentium II. In adopting the K6, a
company must deal not only with AMD's lack of name recognition but also the
ire of Intel.
Yet AMD is prepared for a breakthrough. The company now has their own chip
factory in Austin, Texas and is building a second in Dresden, Germany.
A 266-MHz version of the K6 will debut by the fourth quarter, and a 300-MHz
should follow in early 1998. Subsequently, AMD will continue to reduce die
sizes and increase clock speeds by moving to a 0.25-micron manufacturing
process in 1998 and a 0.18-micron process in 1999.--Cade Metz

PC Labs Tests K6--Outperforming the Pentium
Though the AMD-K6/PR-233 is just now reaching the PC market, PC Magazine Labs
has tested one of the first K6 reference systems. Unfortunately, the system
that AMD sent us is not entirely conducive to comparisons with today's
mainstream corporate machines. The company has stacked the deck by including
a 512K L2 cache upgrade card--giving the machine a 1MB L2 cache--and a DTP
Ultra Wide SCSI controller with 32MB of EDO RAM cache.
The system's chipset carries the VIA name, but was developed by engineers at
AMD. The AMD-640--which will likely be licensed to Opti, ALI, SIS, and ITE as
well--is optimized for use with the K6 but can be used with any Socket 7
processor.
Like Intel's nascent 430TX, it uses a two-chip design and offers support for
Concurrent PCI, UltraDMA, and USB. By the second half of the year, AMD plans
to ship a version that supports Intel's Accelerated Graphics Port, which
gives graphics chips dedicated access to main memory.
The system also arrived at PC Labs with a Matrox Millennium graphics card
(4MB of WRAM), a Seagate Cheetah Ultra Wide SCSI hard disk, and 64MB of SDRAM.
During testing, however, we used only 32MB of system memory--as we did with
machines in our first MMX Pentium review ("MMX Extends the Desktop,"
February 4, 1997) and our latest 200-MHz Pentium Pro roundup ("Corporate
Voices," December 3, 1997).
Performance Comparison
Under Windows 95, (at a resolution of 1,024-by-768 with 16-bit color), the K6
system we received significantly outperformed the 12 systems in our MMX
Pentium roundup. Its Business Winstone 97 score--which represents overall
system performance--was 27 percent higher than that of the average MMX Pentium
PC, and 16 percent higher than that of the two leading machines, the Digital
Celebris FX 5200M and the Quantex QP5/200 SM-3.
Though both these systems lacked caching controllers and contained only 512K
of L2 cache apiece, both used a Millennium card with 4MB of WRAM. The Quantex
was equipped with a Seagate Barracuda Ultra SCSI hard disk, while the Digital
used a much slower Quantum Fireball Fast ATA-2 disk.
The K6 was just as proficient when running our CPUmark32 test under Windows 95.
(This test measures the raw speed of a machine's processor subsystem.) In
this case, its score was 41 percent greater than the average MMX Pentium
score and 32 percent greater than the highest MMX Pentium result.
A comparison between the K6 prototype and the 40 machines in our Pentium Pro
roundup is not quite as conclusive. Under Windows NT, the K6's Winstone score
of 66 was unmatched. With a score of 61, the leading Pentium Pro performer
during Winstone testing was the Zenon Optima Pro Server--which included 256K
of on-board L2 cache, a CMD SCSI adapter with 16MB of cache, a Seagate
Barracuda Fast/Wide SCSI-2 hard disk, and an ATI 3D Xpression Pro Turbo PC2TV
graphics card. The success ofer Winstone, however, is primarily the result of
their caching controllers. As is evidenced by their CPUmark32 scores, the
true processing speed of these systems is merely average.
During CPUmark32 testing, the 32MB hard disk cache on the K6 machine becomes
irrelevant. The system's only advantage is its stout secondary cache, which
is four times larger those in our Pentium Pro roundup. Of course, the Pentium
Pro's on-board L2 cache runs at the same clock speed as the CPU (200 MHz),
while the K6's L2 cache runs at the speed of the system bus (66 MHz). Thus,
the advantage is not as great as it would seem. A typical K6 machine will
likely have a 512K of L2 and l on its CPUmark32 score.
Regardless, the performance of the 233MHz K6 is at best on a par with that of
the 200MHz Pentium Pro. Though this puts the K6 at the top of the market--at
least for the time being--it does not quite match the claims of AMD.--Cade Metz

Intel's 64-bit Merced processor to offer huge power boost
The Intel-Architecture 64-bit (IA-64) Merced processor will
offer as much as 15 times the performance of current processors
while maintaining compatibility with existing code, said
executives from co-developer Hewlett-Packard this week.
Although RISC processors from HP competitors will improve at a
50-percent annual rate, HP expects a 500-percent to
1500-percent improvement in performance from IA-64, said
Richard Sevcik, an HP vice president and general manager of the
company's systems technology group.
He also promises that making the IA-64 binary compatible with
Intel's current IA-32 processors and HP's existing PA-RISC
chips will ease the transition to the more powerful CPU by
allowing developers and end-users to maintain existing programs
and data.
Converting system designs to the IA-64 will demand a change in
hardware such as that of the switch from Pentium Pro to Pentium
II, said Peter Glaskowsky, a senior analyst at MicroDesign
Resources, in Sunnyvale, Calif.
Today, designers are struggling with the conversion from the
Pentium Pro socket to the Pentium II slot, Glaskowsky noted.
The Slot 1 architecture eases the transition between devices in
the same generation but cannot be maintained with the wider bus
architecture of the IA-64, he said.
"I don't expect the same slot will survive the transition to
IA-64," Glaskowsky said.
As with the last several generational changes, the switch to
IA-64 will require new protocols, Glaskowsky said. It may offer
features such as a direct interface from the processor to main
memory, he said. IA-64 Merced systems will scale to 256-way
symmetric multiprocessors.
IA-64 development will continue in parallel with PA-RISC
development, HP's Sevcik said. Intel, too, will parallel IA-64
development with new IA-32 chips, said Pat Gelsinger, vice
president and general manager of Intel's desktop products
group.
At WinHEC '97 in San Francisco this week, Gelsinger said the
IA-32 Pentium II will be "announced and shipping in volume
beginning next month." Following the Pentium II are other
32-bit processors, then the IA-64, he said.
"We have multiple generations of 32-bit processors in
development," Gelsinger said. "We see no end to 32-bit
processors."
Andrew Grove, Intel chief executive and president, this week
described the Pentium II Dual Independent Bus architecture,
which increases the transfer of data between the processor and
memory.

kraja godina uz pomoć IBM-a na 266MHz, a početkom sledeće i na

Cyrix shows off its answer the Pentium II at WinHEC
Intel Wednesday faced the second competitor for its Pentium II
processor as Cyrix unveiled its M2 processor in working systems
at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) here.
Cyrix had 233-MHz M2 Pentium II-compatible systems on display
running MMX-enhanced software. Cyrix reached an agreement with
Intel over a recent dispute surrounding the use of the MMX
trademark, noted Steve Tobak, vice president of marketing at
Cyrix.
Cyrix this quarter will introduce 166-, 200-, and 233-MHz
versions of the M2, Tobak said. Using a new manufacturing
process at IBM Microelectronics, Cyrix's foundry, the company
will offer a 266-MHz chip later this year.
Early in 1998, Cyrix will move to a 0.25 micron process, which
will lead to a 300-MHz version of the M2, Tobak said. It will
also cut the power consumption of the part, he noted.
The M2 already has low enough power consumption for mobile
applications, Tobak said. Although Cyrix is focusing on desktop
applications for the M2, "It makes an ideal notebook product,"
he noted.
When resources permit Cyrix to address notebook applications,
the company will be ready, Tobak said. The company will be able
to give OEMs design information for mobile applications because
"we're always characterizing for notebooks," he said.
