686 information
The Intel Pentium Pro was introduced in 1995 as the successor to the Pentium. It was the first mainstream CPU to radically change how it executes instructions, by translating them into RISC-like microinstructions and executing these on a highly advanced internal core (the Nexgen Nx586 processor was actually the first x86 CPU to use this design).

The Pentium Pro achieves performance about 50% higher than a Pentium of the same clock speed. It was typically used as a server CPU for Windows NT servers - because of its high 32 bit optimization ist was comparably slow with desktop operating systems.

The architecture of the Cyrix 6x86 incorporating most of the features of the Pentium Pro. Its FPU though is considerably less efficient than Intel's. In general practice (with 16 bit applications) 6x86s were faster than Pentium Pro CPUs. ST and IBM 6x86s are licensed Cyrix 6x86s.

The AMD K6 was built around the original NexGen Nx686 core which was inherited by AMD when it bought NexGen in 1996. This allowed AMD to recover after its problems with its own K5 processor and inital difficulties in the development of its "in house" K6 design. NexGen had developed a powerful RISC processor core which gave the chip impressive sixth generation performance. AMD enhanced this design by the addition of Intel's MMX instructions. The K6 also was optimized for 16 bit code.
