If you know/knew that the AMD 5x86 is really an advanced 486, why troll
like this in the first place? For accuracy, its the fastest 486 ever
made...133MHz. That its overall performance equals only a P75 says a lot
about how fast PC CPU technology advances...although the
speed-advance-increments seem to be getting smaller and smaller as time
goes by.
