The K7 600 begins to show the limitations inherent in a .25-micron processor. The peak power demands jump to 50 watts, which is incredibly high for a 600-MHz processor, especially when compared to 34.5 watts for the Intel Pentium III 600 MHz, also a .25-micron based product. Scalability starts to decrease compared to earlier Athlon units, as the K7 600 reaches maximum potential around 700 to 750 MHz.
