133MHz

133 MHz refers to a clock speed of 133 million cycles per second. This frequency was commonly used in computer processors, particularly in the mid-to-late 1990s. Processors operating at this speed were part of the Pentium and early Celeron lines from Intel, as well as some AMD K5 and K6 processors. Systems featuring a 133 MHz bus speed allowed for faster data transfer between the CPU and other components like RAM and peripherals. This was a significant improvement over earlier processors that operated at much lower frequencies, such as 33 MHz or 66 MHz.

The 133 MHz speed represented a mid-range performance level for its time. While not the absolute fastest available, it offered a good balance of performance and cost for mainstream desktop computers and some early laptops. Applications that benefited most from this speed included general productivity software, gaming, and early multimedia tasks. The introduction of faster processors and bus speeds quickly surpassed 133 MHz, but it remains a notable benchmark in the history of personal computing evolution.
