- AMD x86 Complete Design Lineage
AMD Gen 1 (1992*): i386/486 ISA -- 386, 486, 5x86, K5*
- Non-superscalar: ALU + optional FPU (std. in K5)
AMD Gen 2 (1994*): i486/686 ISA -- Nx586+FPU/K5*, Nx686/K6
- Superscalar: 3+1 ALU+FPU (ALUs pipelined, FPU _not_ piplined)
AMD Gen 3 (1999): i686/x86-64 ISA -- Athlon, Athlon64/Opteron
- Superscalar: 3+3 ALU+FPU (pipelined), FPU 2 _and_ 1 ADD/MULT
- Extensions are microcoded and leverage ALU/FPU as appropriate
