No, he is thinking of the 5x86 chip. The K5 is a pentium class chip,
the 5x86 is a 486 class chip. Two different processor cores.

That's a 6x86 chip, not the 5x86 chip.

Well, that's what the chip has printed on it (I've got one right in
front of me now). The chip is a 486DX core running at 5x33MHz = 133MHz,
hence the DX5-133 markings.
