Obviously we're talking about processor as in central processing unit. Something GPU isn't. And by me saying that AMD's CPUs not being based on any other architecture than x86, I'm referring to PowerPC, ARM, etc.

Alchemy is MIPS. NOT x86.

AM2900 was also not x86, followed by the 29k.

8086 was the first from AMD.

Some CPU's were also not "properly licensed" x86 chips.

Wut?

Nope, Geode is based on x86, and Alchemy is not an indigenous AMD design. AMD chipped in its expertise while Sun and Raza made it. It was never marketed under AMD as a central processor. A variant was used as a network card SoC.

2900/29k were.

Its also extremely important to note that not all chips AMD has ever produced were official "x86".

By design, some were "compatible" with intel sockets, and code used. Unlicensed designs.

If you need any proof of this, just look up the many lawsuits by intel?
