Yes. The Nx586 slower than the AMD 5x86. Especially if run the later at 160 MHz or on a modern PCI board. The Nx586 P90 is more comparable to DX4-100, sometimes even beaten by that. Check this

Strange, P90 < P75 ? So, NexGen's P-rating benchmarks were different than those of AMD and Cyrix?

Maybe try clearing your CMOS since you upgraded the bios? Would you also have an "Enhanced" AMD 486DX4-100? In this process you're switching from an "enhanced" DX2-66 to a "regular" DX4-100. I don't know if the "enhanced" version would do you any better (or, just get the 5x86 😜 )

Try 33MHz or 40MHz using this DX50 CPU by changing crystals. If not, set board up as 33MHz and use a 5V DX2 66 CPU, either amd or intel. Cheers,

Good thing is that 486 DX2 and SX2 CPUs double their speed totally internally and autonomous. So it is really just plug and play! Maybe some old biosses do not show the speed correctly, thats about it. Oh beware of AMD 3VOLT DX2 CPUs they need a newer motherboard or an interposer.
