  AMD K5 microprocessor family
AMD K5 was produced in speeds up to 200 MHz (200 MHz version was not officially announced by AMD).
Comparing AMD K5 family with Pentium CPU family you may notice that all AMD K5 microprocessors rated 120 MHz or higher were manufactured with integrated heatspreaders, while the fastest production Pentium microprocessor with integrated heatspreader was Pentium 100.
K5 200 MHz version was not officially announced by AMD, probably because this processor was released at about the same time as K6 processors.

 AMD x86 (8086 - K5) identification
To identify AMD K5 processor use the part number printed on the front of the CPU.
Newer K5 processors have part numbers starting from "AMD-K5", for their interpretation please see K5 section below.

AMD has the staying power, customer relationships, and broad industry support to meet your processor needs, now and in the future.
AMD is the world's second-largest supplier of Windows-compatible processors.
AMD has the sub-half-micron process technology and manufacturing capacity to produce the AMD-K5 processor in the volume needed by PC manufacturers worldwide.

  AMD K5 ("K5" / "5k86")
AMD's entry in the fifth generation processor sweepstakes is called the K5.
As a result instead of being the "Pentium killer" AMD had hoped for, the K5 was positioned as a low-cost Pentium alternative, much like the Cyrix 6x86.
The K5 is available in P rating speeds from 75 to 166 and goes in a Socket 5 or Socket 7 motherboard.

 AMD K5 - The Processor Emporium (UK) - (Page 1 of 2)
In the short term AMD did well with its AM486 range and pushed its development to impressive levels with its 133 MHz 586 design which was competative with the Pentium 60.
This though was only a stop gap measure and AMD had to develop their own design, and thus the need for the K5 was great.
Unfortunatly AMD were never able to overcome the K5's heat problem and so had to resort to the same P Rating that Cyrix was using with the 6x86.

AMD apparently underestimated how long it would take to verify the K5 (especially after the public furor over the Pentium bug), and the company was overoptimistic about the K5's initial silicon.
AMD hasn't released official SPEC numbers or allowed independent benchmarking, but based on the claim that the K5 is 30 percent faster than a Pentium at the same clock speed, we estimate the performance of a 75-MHz K5 at 109 to 115 SPECint92.
AMD's answer to Intel's sixth-generation CPU is supposed to be the K6, but that's highly unlikely to happen before 1997.

AMD later produced the 80286, or 286, under the same arrangement, but Intel cancelled the agreement in 1986, and refused to hand over technical details of the i386 part.
AMD originally designed the Opteron to compete against Intel's IA-64 Itanium architecture, but the failure of the IA-64 project to leverage volume sales means that the Opteron now competes with Intel's Xeon processor.
AMD K8L is a major revision of the AMD64 microarchitecture and hardware platform, and is due late in 2006 or early in 2007.

 AMD K5
AMD K5 The AMD K5 was a Pentium-class microprocessor, manufactured by AMD, first inroduced in 1995.
There were two sets of K5 processors, internally called the "5k86" and the "K5" series, both released with the K5 label.
However, AMD used what it called a PR rating, or performance rating, to label the chips according to their equivalence to a Pentium of that clock speed.

 UGeek AMD K5 Processor Table   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The AMD K5 was AMD's competitor to Intel's Pentium processor.
Throughout the life cycle of the K5, it suffered low yields and lagged the Pentium in clock speed.
It appears that AMD may have made the core too complex, and thus had a lot of problems trying to speed it up.
