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. |
