Hi all,
I am trying these two processors on a MVP3/384Mb PC100 max motherboard trying to understand which one performs better. On games I clearly see an advantage with the K63 where not only 3dmark but also games like Thief 2 runs much better even if the processor absorb for its time a huge amont of power from motheboard circuirtry.
I disabled le L3-512kbyte on board cache assuming it would slowdown the L2 internal one of the K6-3, am I correct?
And anyway I'd like to ask you why the K6-3 being on paper a K6-2 with L2 cache, had that HUGE difference of transistors number almost like an Athlon if I remember correctly. Was the architecture that different?
Bye
