K6-III

K6-III+ (K6-III Plus) was a family of mobile microprocessors introduced by AMD in early 2000 as a replacement for the previous generation of K6-III mobile processors. K6-III+ enjoyed higher performance and lower voltage as a result of a die shrink.

Overview

Introduced in April of 2000 and on AMD's new 0.18 µm process, the K6-III+ was designed to replace the older K6-III-P mobile processors. Due to the processor shrink, the new models operated at higher frequency, dissipated less power, and operated at lower voltages. Many models could be clocked as high as 600-650 MHz. K6-III+ never recived as much attention because AMD was focused on promoting their Athlon and Duron (K7) families instead.
