AMD have renamed the AM5x86 series of chips. They are now designated AM486DX5, also they no longer have the -Pxx suffix but have -PRxx (Performace Rating) The chips are being 'repositioned' for the embedded market and they wanted to avoid suggesting that they are related to Pentiums and their attendant heat problems.
