High Performance for Value Notebook PCs
The Mobile AMD-K6®-2+ family of processors is built on AMD's advanced 0.18-micron technology and offers high performance for value notebook PCs. Running at clock speeds of up to 550MHz, the Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor efficiently runs your demanding Microsoft® Windows® based business, Internet and consumer applications.
AMD PowerNow!™ Technology* for Extended Battery Life
Featuring AMD PowerNow!™ technology, the Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor enables extended battery life at all system price points. AMD PowerNow! technology allows the processor to operate at different frequencies and voltages depending on the user's need for maximum performance or maximum battery life. Three modes of operation are supported. In Automatic mode, the system monitors CPU usage while applications are running, continuously changing frequency and voltage to deliver an optimized balance of battery life and performance. Alternatively, the user can set the system to always run in maximum performance mode or in battery-saver mode to improve performance or extend battery life. AMD PowerNow! technology operating modes are easily selected through the use of a simple Windows control panel.
*AMD PowerNow! technology requires specific notebook system and BIOS support and these features may not be available in all AMD-K6-2+ processor based notebook PCs
Advanced Super7™ Platform Features
The Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor supports other advanced Super7™ platform features, including a 100MHz front-side bus for fast memory and I/O performance, PC-100 SDRAM and 2X AGP graphics.
3DNow!™ Technology for Better 3D Multimedia, Audio and Graphics
AMD has shipped millions of AMD-K6-2 processors with 3DNow!™ technology, revolutionizing the 3D experience with up to four times the peak floating point performance of previous generation solutions. AMD was the first to bring this advanced technology to notebook computing with the Mobile AMD-K6-2 processor, and 3DNow! technology has widespread support from Microsoft and the x86 software development community. The Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor includes an enhanced version of 3DNow! technology, with additional instructions designed to support digital signal processing (DSP) functions in applications such as MP3 recording, Dolby Digital and Surround Sound processing, and soft xDSL modems.
Compatible with the Windows® Universe
If it's from AMD, it's compatible. The Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor has undergone extensive testing to confirm its compatibility with Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT®, Windows 2000 and other leading operating systems. The Mobile AMD-K6-2+ processor is also compatible with more than 60,000 software applications, including the latest 3DNow! and MMX™ technology-enhanced software. As the world's second largest supplier of processors for the Windows environment, AMD has shipped more than 50 million Windows compatible CPUs in the last five years.
