The Geodes found in both my net4801-50 and net4801-60 are both
i586-class CPUs with CX8 support:

$ dmesg | grep -A 2 ^CPU
CPU: Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi (266.65-MHz 586-class =
CPU)
  Origin =3D "Geode by NSC"  Id =3D 0x540  Stepping =3D 0
  Features=3D0x808131<FPU,TSC,MSR,CX8,CMOV,MMX>
