Kryotech Cool K6-2 500

From a Business Application Performance perspective, the Cool K6-2 500 is noticeably slower than a K6-3, and especially considering that the release of the K6-3 is no more than 2 months away, an investment in the Cool K6-2 500 now wouldn't be your best option.  The gaming performance of the Cool K6-2 500, as shown by software rendering tests under Quake 2 is greater than that of the K6-3 simply because the L2 cache performance carries very little weight in FPU intensive applications, where raw processing power is all that counts, also where the K6-2 at 500 distances itself from even the unreleased K6-3.  Unfortunately that is the Cool K6-2 500's only advantage over the upcoming K6-3, and with the performance advantage over the current generation of K6-2 processors being next to nothing, the Kryotech system's shortcomings are just beginning.
