 which said, among other things:
 With its SIMD-style instructions and dual register execution
 pipelines, the AMD-K6-2 processor can deliver up to four
 floating point results per clock cycle. The AMD-K6-2/333 has
 a peak floating point performance of 1.333 Gigaflops,
 significantly greater than the 0.333-Gigaflop peak performance
 of a Pentium II 333, or the 0.4-Gigaflop peak performance of a
 Pentium II 400. The AMD-K6-2/300 has a peak floating point
 performance of 1.2 Gigaflops, or four times the 3D processing
 power of a Pentium II 300, rated at peak performance of 0.3
 Gigaflops.
 Pricing and Availability
 The AMD-K6-2 processor is available now. The
 AMD-K6-2/333 is priced at $369; the AMD-K6-2/300 at
 $281; and the AMD-K6-2/266 at $185, each in 1,000-unit
 quantities. AMD expects to offer a 350-MHz version in the
 third quarter and a 400-MHz version in the fourth quarter of
 1998.
 Naturally, as mdbnch.f claims for K6/200 512 kBytes 2nd cache/64 MByte
 SDRAM equal performance as PPro 200/256 kBytes 2nd, I'm interested in
 seeing according figures (even in absence of gcc optimization for the
 K6-2). Any preliminary figures?
 Thanks,
