About this product
Product Information
The AMD K6-2 350 MHz processor may be a vintage piece of computing equipment, but it offers several perks for fans of old-school technology. It also has several features that make it competitive with modern computers. Originally released in 1998, the AMD K6-2 with RISC86 core boasts an elegant design and was groundbreaking among early PC technology upon its introduction. That’s because this chip was the first to incorporate 3DNow! technology, a feature introduced by AMD. This compact CPU works well with modern 3D graphics accelerators, and the combination not only improves 3D processing power, but also adds more realism to Windows computing. An innovation in PC computing at that time, the now retro AMD K6-2 processor with RISC86 core features 4GB of physical memory, a frequency of 350 MHz, and a bus speed of just 100 MHz. The 100 MHz bus speed of this chip was a 50 percent increase over the MHz of previous processors, and because it used the same CPU frequency, it offered a 10 percent increase in performance—ideal for power users who want to get the most out of their PC and need something that can handle intensive computing tasks. Because the AMD K6-2 processor uses a Super 7 socket, it’s compatible with older motherboards and desktop PCs. Plus, while the AMD K6-2 processor with RISC86 core and 128KB cache is a vintage piece of equipment, it’s compatible with nearly any type of modern multimedia software and applications, such as video and music players. This means that with this CPU, you can enjoy a high-quality DVD movie experience as well as playing your favorite video games with the bonus of surround sound that makes any game an immersive and rich sensory experience. This processor also has superscalar MMX technology capability, which means it takes ordinary media, such as music and video, and elevates it to a rich, full experience. Enjoy your audio in full 3D sound and your video with all the detail and complexity that digital video has to offer with these high-quality CPUs. The AMD K6-2 CPU with 128KB cache was an upgraded version of its predecessor, the K6, but it also retained some of the original model’s features, including using the same RISC86 core as the K6 and maintaining the Super 7 socket typical of older processors. This means that because of the Super 7 socket, it works best with a motherboard produced during the same era, making it easy to reconstruct the vintage style of desktop PCs you may have grown up using. These K6-2 CPUs, which have a 2.2 voltage, 9.3 million transistors, and an L2 cache size of 128KB, join other popular chips from AMD, including the K6-III and the Athlon. AMD started designing processors in 1993—some via a license from Intel and others that it created through reverse engineering. The K6-2 was one of the earlier models, and AMD continued to refine its chips with upgrades added to later versions such as the K6-III. AMD chips are designed to have a performance that matches popular and high-quality processors from that era, including Intel processors such as the Pentium and Pentium II.

- p***r (539)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAwesome packaging, thank you!
- d***o (10)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI was a little skeptical at first, new item due the save price as used. But so far so good. The new video card has brought a very old PC back to life. As others have noted, I had issues with the install CD, had uninstall and then let windows find the drivers off the cd instead of running the cd. Working well so far
