Amd Athlon 1000 Mhz Slot A
Speeds of up to 1000 MHz were now possible with Slot A. The 512 kB L2 cache was located externally on the processor module. AMD Athlon K75 with Orion core for Slot A. Milestone in the world of x86.

Faster Slot-A processors had to compromise further and run at 2/5 (up to 850 MHz, 340 MHz cache) or 1/3 (up to 1 GHz, 333 MHz cache). This later race to 1 GHz (1000 MHz) by AMD and Intel further exacerbated this bottleneck as ever higher speed processors demonstrated decreasing gains in overall performance—stagnant SRAM cache memory speeds. For the Slot-A AMD Druon or Athlon overclocking we used a so called 'Gold-Finger' device. A little piece of PCB hooked up to the (hidden) gold-finger connector of the AMD Athlon. Which works great.
