The AMD K5 microprocessor is a Pentium-class 32-bit CPU manufactured by American company Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and targeted at the consumer market. It was the first x86 processor designed by AMD from the ground up, and not licensed or reverse-engineered as previous generations of x86 processors produced by AMD.
Advanced Micro Devices sought inspiration from Intel to make the K5.
While AMD pioneered the K5 processor in its entirety, it is unknown whether the development team looked into Intel's design process as inspiration when making the chip.
