https://www.star.bnl.gov/public/daq/HARDWARE/21264_data_sheet.pdf
gives the clock rate as varying between 466 and 600 MHz, and
Wikipedia gives the clock frequency of the Pentium Pro as between
150 and 200 MHz.  The Pentium II Overdrive, according to Wikipedia,
had up to 333 MHz.

Is this information wrong?
