AMD K6-2

This page will show all objects that classify as AMD K6-2. The K6-2 has been made by Advanced Micro Devices, a multinational semiconductor that develops microprocessors, chipsets and graphic processors (ATi). AMD is the second largest microprocessor manufacturer after Intel and has active since 1969.

In 1982 AMD signed a contract with Intel to become a licensed second-source manufacturer. IBM wanted the Intel 8086/8088 but IBM's policy stated that at least two suppliers should be available. This is why the first AMD processors always have 'Intel' printed somewhere. After a while AMD didn't get the license to produce Intel processors anymore and thus AMD started cloning the 386 and launched the Am386. Since the AMD K5, AMD didn't clone the Intel processor but started developing on their own. The K5 wasn't a big success but thanks to NexGen that merged into AMD the K6 could be made. AMD could compete and has a range of processors today including six-core Opterons and a good performing quad-core for the desktop called the Phenom II X4.

AMD also acquired ATi to get in-house graphics chips. These are integrated in chipsets to create cheap motherboard solutions. In the future (The Future is Fusion as AMD calls it) the plans are to integrate the graphics chip into the processor.

AMD K6-2 233AFR '26050'

I never knew that this CPU existed and always thought the K6-2/266 was the slowest desktop K6-2/266 ever made. Unfortunately this 233MHz model doesn't work but as the core is technically the same as the K6-2/266 I can use that CPU to benchmark a 233MHz K6-2. > Read more

AMD K6-2 266AFR '26351'

This one is just like the other K6-2's. Many will probably say (just like I did :P) that this is the slowest K6-2 but it's not; that's the 233MHz model :). > Read more

AMD K6-2 300AFR-66 '26351'

The 66MHz FSB version of the AMD K6-2/300 for people with an older motherboard that didn't feature a 100MHz FSB. > Read more

AMD K6-2 300AFR '26351'

The K6-2/300 features a 100MHz FSB which makes it faster than the original K6-2 CPU's that all have a 66MHz FSB. The 300MHz model came in both 66MHz and 100MHz model because not everyone who wanted this CPU could run a 100MHz FSB. > Read more

AMD K6-2 333AFR '26351'

This CPU was launched with a front-side-bus of 95MHz and wasn't popular because of that. Later AMD introduced a somewhat optimized version with both 66MHz and 95MHz FSB versions. > Read more

AMD K6-2 350AFR '26351'

A regular AMD K6/2. Not the slowest (233MHz) nor the fastest (550MHz) but just somewhere in between. > Read more

AMD K6-2 366AFR '26351'

A higher clocked 66MHz FSB AMD K6-2. Suitable for the older motherboards that support the K6-2 but not the 100MHz FSB. In case you have a newer motherboard go for the 100MHz FSB versions. > Read more

AMD K6-2 380AFR '26351'

A weird CPU because of the of the 95MHz FSB. I bet most people bought either the 350MHz or 400MHz model that runs with a normal 100MHz FSB. > Read more

AMD K6-2 400AFR '26351'

The AMD K6-2 400 had a remapped multiplier. If you configure it at 2x it will apply a multiplier of 6x. This enables consumers to install a fast K6-2 400MHz CPU in an older motherboard (if correct voltage and BIOS was available) with only a 66MHz front side bus. Of course this will cause a performance penalty but it's probably a lot faster than the old CPU ;). > Read more

AMD K6-2 475AHX '26351'

Another AMD K6-2 with an oddbal 95MHz FSB. These 475MHz models don't come by everyday because people went for the 450MHz or 500MHz model (both with 100MHz FSB) instead. > Read more

AMD K6-2 500AFX '26351'

Just like the AMD K6-2 400 and 450 but then faster. At 500MHz the K6-2 is getting to it's peak as it isn't designed to scale much higher. I wouldn't be surprised if this 500MHz model doesn't overclock to 550MHz. > Read more

AMD K6-2 550AGR '26351'

An AMD K6-2 at it's peak; 550MHz! You can't get a faster normal K6-2 than this nor AMD could provide you with one. The K6-2 architecture didn't scale well beyond 500MHz. Even the AMD K6-III+ produced with 180nm technology doesn't achieve marvelous clock frequencies. > Read more
