I've just finished a series of testing with the Cyrix 5x86-133 and compiled results with 9 different benchmark programs. These include,
Norton Sysinfo v8.0, PC-Config v9.33, PcpBench v1.97, Speedsys v4.78, Cachechk v4.0, Roy Longbottom's Dhrystone, Linpack, and Whetstone.I also cross-compared the results to 13 other socket 3 cpus. The purpose of this is to show a performance comparison between cpus, not necessarily the fastest possible configuration. I used a PC Chips M919 for testing, however the Biostar MB-8433UUD v3.0 generally showed slightly improved performance over the M919. Also, switching to a VLB graphics card tends to increase 3D performance from that of the PCI ones. For example, pcpbench results increase from 8.2 to 9.2 with a Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (4MB).
The cpus compared were,
Cyrix 5x86-133, 120, 100, and 100 with branch prediction on
AMD x5-160, 133, and AMD DX4-100
Intel Pentium Overdrive P24T-100 and 83.
Intel DX4-100, DX-33, SX2-50.Unfortunately, the DX2-66 I had in the collection no longer boots.
Refer to the attached PDF for the comparison chart.
Wow. If that Cyrix 133 overclocks at all and is placed on the right motherboard it might be the new 486/586 speed champ.
