My recollection (starting with the K6-3+ and then going to the K6-2+ - if
there are any errors, please correct me):
The K6-3+ is a K6-3 produced on a smaller process (180nm, as opposed to

Hmmm I don't think so. From the dmesg of my K6-2+ [a 500Mhz underclocked
to 75Mhzx6 on my poor PA-2007 motherboard]
CPU: L1 I Cache: 32K L1 D Cache: 32K (32 bytes/line)

Sounds like a marketing thing.

I don't think so.
The K6-2 yeilds what you mentioned above.
The K6-2+ is actually the CPU that was released
