CPU Tags
MMX	Instruction set extension for certain Pentium CPUs as well as the K6-2/III series which can be used for multimedia applications, but rarely applied.
3DNow!	Instruction set extension for K6-2/III series which can be used for 3D applications, often applied.
AFR	2.2V core voltage, max 70°C case temperature
AFQ	2.2V core voltage, max 60°C case temperature
AHX	2.4V core voltage, max 65°C case temperature
AFX	2.2V core voltage, max 65°C case temperature
AGR	2.3V core voltage, max 70°C case temperature
Architecture/Cache
onboard	The L2 cache for Socket 7 CPUs is placed on the motherboard. It can vary between 512 and 2048 kByte depending on the motherboard product itself.
L3	The AMD K6-III has got 256 kByte on-die (internal) L2 cache. The external cache on Socket 7 boards becomes then so-called L3 cache.
Cache	Motherboard cache (L2 or L3) runs in-sync with the system bus. Therefore it is not dependent on the CPU clock such as on the Pentium III or AthlonThe K6-III cache frequency of 100 MHz refers to the L3 cache. The L2 on a K6-III is on die and runs at full speed.
