Hi Philippe!
Nice hard one. First of all, your AMD and Intel are different factories with
different processors and different technologies. So, your question is like
asking what model of a BMW is this model of Mercedes.
Here's what I read: The AMD-K6 is a high performance six generation processor
that is physically installable in a P5 (Pentium) motherboard. K6-2 adds higher
clock speed, bus speeds up to 100 MHz (Super7 design MBs), and 3DNow. AMD K6 is
fully x86 binary code compatible, and its L1 cache is twice that of PII and
PIII, to compensate for the lower L2 cache performance of the socket 7 design.
So, the AMD-K6 delivers performance levels somewhere between the Pentium and
Pentium II processor due to its unique hybrid design.
On RedHat installation guide (5.2) it reads that if you want to recompile your
kernel for a Cyrix or AMD, you should use a processor type of 386.
