It is an interesting find anyway. 😀 I don't know how to identify the sockets either, when I can't see the CPU pin arrangement. Was just guessing by the 'premature' board layout.
I was talking about the Socket 7 Cyrix 6x86L at 1.0x multiplier. Here is that benchmark again as a screenshot. 40.00 points is like a 486DX/4-100. But I suspect Speedsys mainly benches the Floating point unit, which is the least developed aspect of the 6x86L. Strangely CPUID is disabled by default on this particular CPU, so I don't have to disable it manually in order to run speedsys.
In addition it was benched with PC-Player benchmark at stock resolution, it got 9.0 FPS. That FPS value is more like an AMD 5x86-P75 @133MHz. Here are is a nice lineup of AMD 5x86-P75 @133MHz systems (4x), on a German site.
Not having any older mainboards, like socket 5. This is the lowest I could get on Super Socket 7 without any additional tricks, such as disabling cache.
Edit:
Quake.exe +timedemo demo2 -nosound -nojoy: 13,1 FPS
PCPBench /VGAMode: 20,6 FPS
