Am5x86 was a family of highest performance 486-based microprocessors introduced by AMD in 1995. These processors came with all the features of the Enhanced Am486s but had the highest clock speed available. These chips, which ended up performing better than the Pentium-75, became the de-facto upgrade for users with existing 486-based systems. This family solidified AMD position as the official Intel competition.

History

In 1995 AMD was busy working on their first home-grown x86-compatible microarchitecture, K5.
