- That's not correct. AMD 120 is clock tripled but AMD 133 (= AMD 5x86 P75) is the
- first real DX/"4" cpu - internal clock is external clock x 4. The Cyrix 586 is
- not Pentium like: it's just an improved 486 design for 486 boards. The "Pentium"
- cpu from Cyrix is called 6x86 or M1. The system behind these names seems to be
- that the number has be be higher than Intel's CPU made for the same socket ;-)
- The M1 fits into a standard Pentium socked, ie. it's a 5th generation cpu. The
- M1 architecture is better than Intel's Pentium architecture: ability to handle
- flexible page sizes, unified cache (instead of instruction cache + code cache),
- asynchronous pipelines and more.
