Disk Performance
The larger cache of the Pentium II (512KB) does give it the edge over the K6-3 in terms of disk throughput and overall disk performance, however the separation isnt noticeable enough to deem unacceptable from AMDs standpoint. This is nothing more than an illustration of the 512KB L2 running at 50% clock speed vs 256KB L2 running at clock speed comparison made earlier in the article, from a disk perspective that is.

So the statements suggesting that the K6-3 is highly competitive in price and highly overclockable, the statement to expect this processor to be a blow to Intel's market share appears to be highly speculative.I'm curious - did the K6-3 ultimately deal a wicked blow to Intel's market share?
