The NexGen Nx586 Processor
The Nx586 is a 586 CPU with a RISC core and translates x86 instructions into efficient RISC code before execution. This processor also features an extra bus for L2 cache running at core speed - other 586 CPUs at that time accessed their L2 cache at external bus speed. It therefore does not run in common Socket 5 or 7 Pentium-boards but requires a special board design.

NexGen Nx586-PF100-E/E Back Side
In later Nx586s, a math coprocessor was included on-chip. Using IBM's multichip module (MCM) technology, NexGen combined the Nx586 and Nx587 die in a single package. The new device, which used the same pinout as its predecessor, was marketed as the Nx586-PF100 to distinguish it from the FPU-less Nx586-P100.
