That's my understanding. But AMD produced a processor called

As a long-time AMD user, I can only say that I do not remember such a

different from Intel ones.

I think what they are talking about was the Am5x86 processor.
My motherboard docs said AMD586.
The Am5x86 is actually a 486DX (the fastest 486 around) that
Actually, it is a functional clone of the 486DX.
delivers performance superior to the Pentium-75 on a modern 486
motherboard. That's why AMD named it Am5x86-P75.
It is a clock-quadrupling CPU so it runs internally at 133 MHz on
the usual 33.33MHz bus-speed. The 16 Kb Level 1 (on-chip) cache
I overclocked mine to 40MHz bus, 160MHz internally, and it outruns
my Pentium 90MHz machine for many jobs.
supports both the Write-Through (read cache) and the Write-Back
(read and write cache) mode.
I never use write-back, alway write-through. Nice machine. But
I need to replace the battery backup on the motherboard. I have
it on an UPS, and it runs 24/7.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
