AMD K6-2 vs K6-3 Super Socket 7 Overclocking 

Man, I love this content. Ur so calming and informative.

I run a K6-2+ at 600MHz. It's pretty awesome. 1MB L3 cache, that L2 cache, and 256MB of PC-100 all cached. UT99 is a good time on that.

Well done! I love the K62+/K63+ procs. I even have a badge I made up for the modded K62+ w/ full K63+ cache. :-)

Takes me back to the 90s, really loved my K6-3 but stability was often tricky just as you’ve shown. Thanks

Great video sir! Thanks for sharing your findings as well as your depth of knowledge. I learned some new things 👍

Excellent video and benchmarks, like!

such nostalgia, my very first build was a K6-2 350 mated to a TMC TI5VG+ super socket 7 motherboard. US Robotics 56K PCI modem, Sound Blaster Live PCI sound card, 128MB cheap ram with a 350W cheap Codegen PSU, STB Riva TNT 16MB GPU, Lite on CD burner, Samsung 8.4GB HDD, Teac 1.44MB FDD, KDS 17" 85HZ monitor. Can't believe I recalled all that from memory. Likely due to the cheap ram/power supply I had to set the AGP GART to the lowest buffer size otherwise system would freeze.

thanks, well done!

K6-2/3+ were awesome overclockers

Now I wished I had one of those chips but my motherboard only supports K6-2

K6-3 @600 Great CPU Thanks for the Video

A good showing for the k6-3 cpu for sure, feel free too try performance with some graphics cards too see some cpu performance scaling maybe. While i haven't done any overclocking with the k6-2+ 550 i got running underclocked at 400 mhz in an Asus p55t2p4 (Motherboard limitations heh.) I can imagine that's beating the pentium mmx 200 mhz pretty easily even at 400 mhz.

Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere haben die CPUs ab dem K6-3D mit Chomper-XT-Kern die Eigenart, das sie damals den Multiplikator von 2.0 als 6.0 interpretierten. Ich konnte damals meinen AMD K6-3+ entweder mit einem Multiplikator von 5.5 und einem FSB von 110 MHz (605 MHz) oder einem Multiplikator von 6.0 mit einem FSB von 100 MHz (600 MHz) betreiben. Mehr habe ich in meiner Konfiguration damals nicht rausholen können.

If you had some cash for every time you say cache in this video you'd be a rich man sir ;-) Great video and explanation, enjoy your content, keep it coming. 👍

K6-3 or Celeron Mendocino ?

This is a bit old hat. These comparisons were well covered 25 years ago.

That was a terrible comparison. You don’t run the K6-2 and K6-3+ at the same clock speed. Also why overclock the motherboard for the K6-2? You should jave run the m/b at 100mhz for both and made the comparison with the cpu multiplier. Also the two chips are on different nm architectures so will need different voltages. They are mot like for like. Also why don’t you just rescale the y-axis instead of cutting the results in half?
