This is NOT a P133. It is an AMD 5x86 that runs at 133MHz. An AMD 5x86
is pin-for-pin compatible with a 486 chip. At 133MHz, its performance
is comparable to a P75. In the "old days" when these chips were modern,
a lot of people overclocked them to 160MHz and were able to get P100
performance levels.
