Cool chip company KryoTech Inc lost no time in launching a version of Advanced Micro Devices Inc’s AMD K6-2 processor with the speed boosted up by its cooling technology. AMD launched the K6-2 yesterday (CI No 3,419). KryoTech has thermally accelerated a 33MHz K6-2 up to 450MHz by cooling it down to -40c, using an ATX format motherboard with 100MHz system bus, Advanced Graphics Port, 300 watt power supply and a custom ATX case containing its thermal management technology. Pricing was unavailable as we went to press, but was due to be posted on the company’s web site. Last month KryoTech announced an Alpha-based KryoTech/Digital 767 system in conjunction with Digital Equipment Corp. á
