That just shows your lack of knowledge of CPU's. ;o)

Not only does the AMD K6 have MMX, but it has a highly optimized
MMX unit, and had it out in the K6 before intel did on their 6th
gen processor. All K6's have MMX, and always have had.

The AMD K5 however does not have MMX, perhaps you got the two
mixed up. Innocent mistake. ;o)
