According to this article from the DEC Technical Journal:

<http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/computers/vaxen/vax-nvax.html>

The VAX 4000/400, 500, and 600 are all the same NVAX chip. This used to be 
on DECs web site (and then Compaq's) but within the last 5 days it was 
taken down. Fortunately Google had cached a copy which I snagged.
