I would assume that since it says "P75" on it, then it is 75mhz.

crab453, it can't be a 486 clone because it says 5x86 on it.

It runs in a 486 socket.

A 486 DX4-100 is a P70 / P75 clone.

Umm...

No.

They may be roughly equal in performance, but the architecture is completely different.

It is a 133 MHz AMD part that runs in a 486 motherboard, but is intended to be the performance equivalent of a Pentium 75.

I actually built a system around one of those back in the day, I was surprised at how quick it was.

I think it even had 16 MB of RAM!
