Chuckles - Re: "Interesting development - if it happens, any views on what this means to the CPU biz and what it means to AMD?"

That - VIA acquiring Cyrix - is the making of a GREAT SOAP OPERA !

In one fell swoop, VIA will torque-off Intel AND AMD !

AMD would see it's one-time chip set ally - VIA - become a direct competitor - especially at the low end where AMD is already bleeding profusely.

And Intel would see competitor in chip sets become a full-blown competitor - CPUs as well as chip sets.

If I was running Intel, I'd call up HallaPeno, ask him what VIA is bidding, and then TOP THAT bid by a few million bucks.
