Steve - re: "nx5x86 went on to be the K5, "

No - the NX5x86 was a completely different pin out from the K5/Pentium with its own separate cache bus to L2 cache and no internal FPU.

AMD killed the Nx5x86 almost immediately after acquiring NexGen. It simply had too few customers, had no FPU, and was headed towards the bit bucket.

All this hapened less that two years ago.
