| − | '''K6-2''' was a family of {{arch|32}} [[x86]] microprocessors introduced by [[AMD]] in mid [[1998]] as a successor to the {{amd|K6}} family. These processors introduced a number of enhancements including support for [[Super Socket 7]] with bus speeds of up to 100 MHz and {{x86|3DNow!}} [[SIMD]] extension. Due to its ability to extend the life of [[Socket 7]]-based systems and being relatively cheap, the K6-2 family of processors became a highly successful series with some models continued to be manufactured well past {{amd|K6-III}} and {{amd|K7}} introduction. | + | '''K6-2''' was a family of {{arch|32}} [[x86]] microprocessors introduced by [[AMD]] in early [[1998]] as a successor to the {{amd|K6}} family.

| | Following [[AMD]]'s acquisition of [[NexGen]] in [[1995]] and the success from the release of {{amd|K6}} (a rebranding of NegGen's {{nexgen|Nx686}}), AMD had the financial means of developing the [[microarchitecture]] further. With the '''K6-2''' family, AMD took the much safer and more straightforward approach approach and improved on K6 by adding a number new features as well as improving its overall performance, instead of a complete redesign. | | Following [[AMD]]'s acquisition of [[NexGen]] in [[1995]] and the success from the release of {{amd|K6}} (a rebranding of NegGen's {{nexgen|Nx686}}), AMD had the financial means of developing the [[microarchitecture]] further.

| − | AMD increased and improved much of the {{amd|microarchitecures/k6|K6 microarchitecure}} by adding a number of additional units boosting the overall performance. The K6-2 was AMD's first series of processors to offer {{x86|3DNow!}}, an [[x86]] extension that offered [[floating point]] SIMD instructions. The addition of {{x86|3DNow!}} gave floating point calculations a serious performance boost and a much necessery boost since [[Intel]] usually dominated the area of fast [[x87]] applications. Despite being the first to introduce a series of [[SIMD]] instructions, 3DNow! never gained as much popularity as {{x86|SSE}} did, a later implementation by [[Intel]]. | + | AMD increased and improved much of the {{amd|microarchitecures/k6|K6 microarchitecure}} by adding a number of additional units boosting the overall performance.
