AMD K6-200ALR K6 200MHz CPU Processor 2.9V Core 3.3V I/O Socket 7

AMD K6-200ALR K6 200MHz CPU Processor 2.9V Core 3.3V I/O Socket 7

The AMD K6-200ALR is a 200 MHz sixth-generation x86 processor designed for Socket 7 motherboards. It operates on a split voltage design — 2.9V core and 3.3V I/O — making it compatible with the wide range of Super Socket 7 and standard Socket 7 boards that supported split-voltage CPUs. This unit carries date code 9803EPIW and was manufactured in Malaysia in early 1998.

Applications

The AMD K6 series was AMD's answer to the Intel Pentium MMX in the mid-to-late 1990s, targeting the mainstream desktop market at a competitive price point. The K6 used Socket 7 — the same socket Intel used for its Pentium processors — which meant it could drop into existing Socket 7 motherboards from manufacturers like Gigabyte, ASUS, and MSI with a BIOS update and voltage setting adjustment. The K6-200 was popular in budget and value desktop builds of 1997–1999, running Windows 95, Windows 98, and early Windows NT workloads. Today these processors are sought after by vintage PC enthusiasts building or restoring period-correct Socket 7 systems, as well as collectors interested in AMD's competitive history from that era. The split-voltage design (2.9V core / 3.3V I/O) requires a motherboard with split-voltage support, which most Super Socket 7 boards of the era provided.
