its a 486 CPU that just has its internal clock quadrupled....
here is an example.. a 486dx2-66 is just a 486 33MHz CPU with its internal clock DOUBLED, to make it 66MHz. The same idea as above.. the CPU above is jsut a 486-33 class CPU with its internal clock QUADUPLED. 33 * 4 = 132. <they do a bit of funny math to work it up to 133 :>
