Advanced Micro Devices Tuesday introduced a new K6 microprocessor for embedded system designs needing compatibility with x86-based desktop PCs.
AMD said its AMD-K6E processor is designed to run both 16- and 32-bit
software. It supports x86 operating systems, including the Windows CE,
Windows 95, and Windows 98 operating systems and applications that run
on them. The 8.8-million transistor chip also contains the industry standard
MMX
instruction set and is designed for the Socket 7 infrastructure.
The processor is fabricated with AMD's five-layer metal, 0.25-micron process technology in the company's Fab 25 in Austin, Texas.
AMD-K6E processors operating at 266 MHz sell for $84 each in 1,000 quantities. Processors running at 233 MHz sell for $81 each in similar quantities. The embedded processor is available in a Socket 7-compatible 321-pin ceramic pin-grid array package.
