K5 and SSA/5 are codenames for different engineering revisions of the AMD5K86 processor. Just as Intel improved circuit speed and process technology in moving Pentium from the P5 to the P54C revision, AMD is making improvements in logic, circuit speed, and process technology between the SSA/5 and K5 revisions. Together, these improvements will result in higher performance options of the AMD5K86 processor.
