small memory chip manufacturer of the 70's untill ibm confronted intel, ibm needed a second producer for intels 8088 chip used in ibms new personal computer intels choice was amd in a contract 82 to 92-ish intel was suposed to share with amd amd info on cpus. amd didnt have to share back .. thus resulting in law suits over annything from a number 386,{amd's 386 was better then intels and cheeper} and 486 to a p rating of their amd k-5 .. 3 times in history intel screwed itself . 1 by saying to zylog build that cpu .. 2 saying amd build ibms cpu .. 3 by laughing at nexgen ,amd bought nexgen and crunched the nx686 the pentium pro killer down so far to pin it the same as intels socket 7.

The poor man's processor.
The processor than could not understand how to properly factory clock a quad-core, or leave much breathing room for overclocking one in terms of clock stepping.

Man, I wanted that Q9300 so bad, but I can't afford it. Guess I have to get a shitty AMD Phenom processor...
I tried to overclock my Phenom X4 9500 and the damn thing melted its leads into the socket... Should have gotten a Q6600...
