Intel made 486s up to a 100 - a clock-tripled 33. AMD made as fas as a 133, which was used for a while by a number of people who worked in environments where the move to a Pentium, which entailed different memory and chipsets, made the performance of the AMD chip attractive in comparison to the low-end Pentiums - it generally outperformed the P75-P90 in early motherboards.
