TO ALL: Intel has officially named the code-named Klamath MMX chip as the Pentium II (kind of silly though). For Cyrix, if the company will market its M2 chip as the 7x86, it will be absurd because the M2 doesn't have any architecture from the 7th generation x86 architecture. It makes sense that Cyrix named their 5th generation CPU as 6x86 because it does have some 6th generation elements that the Pentium doesn't have. But certainly not the M2's case. It is just a plain 6th generation CPU. So Cyrix should give it a decent 6th generation name. M6x86 would not be a bad one, M stands for MMX. That is my opinion. Any other comments? Kevin
