The Cyrix 6x86 is NOT a Pentium Pro clone. It is a _Pentium_ (P5)
clone. The Cyrix marketing department calls it a 6x86 because it is
faster than a Pentium of the same clock speed. It plugs into a
Pentium socket and runs in a Pentium motherboard.
According to all my benchmark extrapolation, the 6x86 is in fact
slightly to significantly slower than a Pentium Pro of the same bus
speed.
You should think of the 6x86 as half way between a Pentium and a
Pentium Pro.
