At what point do we call a tweak to an original design different enough to count it... K5 and K6 where clearly new designs. The others were mostly intel with some changes. I'm going to count the rest as minor tweaks and not worth counting otherwise - but this is a case where you can argue there the line is and so others need to decide where they stand (if they care)

I called the K5 and 6 new designs, I said they were only ISA and pin compatible, but not the same design.

The NEC V20/30 series were significant advances over their Intel equivalent (basically all the 186 features plus more in an 8086/8 compatible package).
C&T had some super-386 chips that apparently barely made it to market (38605DX), and the Cyrix 5x86 (most of a 6x86) is substantially different from the AMD one (which is just a 486 clock-quadrupled)
