This thread has surprised me by how it's gone on. type 'arch' in a

While it is true that Cyrix named their processor the 6x86, it is most
definately a 586 generation chip. AFAIK, Intel chips up to the Pentium3 are
i586, while the AMD Athlon is 686 as is the Pentium4.
The safest way to determine processor family is to go by what the kerenl

Not quite. K5 is a Pentium clone. K6 added MMX and K6-2 added 3dnow!. So, K5
and K6 should both be i586...
K6-3 is the same as K6-2 with the addition of on-die L2 cache...

I don't think so, and that is precisely why I asked. The K6 came in

Which are these for rpm purposes?
