AMD-K6-2 475-MHz Processor Announced

AMD-K6-2 475-MHz Processor has been revealed today, giving us one more thing to watch as 1999 keeps getting louder. AMD today revealed the introduction of its 475-MHz AMD-K6-2 processor with 3DNow! technology. The AMD-K6-2/475 processor offers a powerful combination of system price and performance and exceeds the clock speed of Intel’s fastest available Pentium II processor. The AMD-K6-2/475 processor will power a soon- to-be-put out IBM Aptiva consumer personal computer system targeted at the retail market.

For PC players, this is the kind of spec-sheet news that either matters immediately or becomes the thing everyone argues about once the drivers land. Either way, keep an eye on it.
