FullOn3D heeft een AMD K6-X comparsion in elkaar geknalt. In het artikel wordt de performance van de K6-2 met die van de K6-III vergeleken. FullOn3D komt tot de conclusie dat de K6-III (en -2) niet helemaal ideaal zijn voor games, bij office applicaties is het plaatje echter anders:
Once application performance enters the picture, things are a whole lot different. If you are equipping a machine for home office use or if you are just a casual gamer, the K6-III offers a significantly smoother experience than the competition at the same price or even clock speed. I especially liked the savage speed it unfolded under Linux - it may just be the ideal Linux x86 CPU available and if that is what you think about setting up I urge you to consider the K6-III as your engine - AMD would be smart to exploit that in marketing.
