Andreas Stiller: Architecture Contest – Design comparison: AMD K7 Athlon versus Pentium III. 1. Februar 1999, archiviert vom Original am 27. September 2008; abgerufen am 2. Februar 2013 (englisch): „Additionally AMD made a significant change [to the Athlon] compared to the K6-2. After the disaster with the much to fast Loop instruction it was slowed down to the sleeping pill level of the Pentium-II. Sloppily programmed software with naïve time loops (like Windows 95 uses for example) could not deal with such fast loops – and of course the user blamed the processor. Instead one should have blamed Microsoft… “
