I didn't mean to imply this. My point is that the 7.62x39mm AK-47 round is more powerful and has a bigger kick than the 5.56mm N round. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Um, if you really aren't sure what my point was, I meant an intermediate round between 7.62mm and 5.56mm. I believe that here in the U.S. (and maybe in other NATO countries) there was a push for, some time in the last few years, a 6.5mm (IIRC) round.
