Speculation:

Initially, the K6 was not a great seller. At that point, it performed equal to or lower than the level of the 6x86.

When AMD moved to quarter micron, the K6 family started performing higher than the level of the 6x86 (on just about everything) and started selling well.

(of course, the above hypothetical situation ignores the instance of AMD's massive yield problems in '97)
