Hi!
It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
essentially dead.
Are you sure it never shipped? Wikipedia seems to suggest it did ship.

...FPU for nexgen was never shipped, that implies that CPU did ship.
