Gene,

Intel cancels Timna

Interesting. When I was researching the Timna MTH issue a couple of weeks ago, a lot of the articles had comments that reflected the same sentiment as in the article you posted:

Additionally, manufacturers have indicated to Intel that they don't really want the chip. Because of smaller motherboards and chipsets that integrate graphics, the cost savings that Timna promised have already been achieved. In essence, it's a product that became obsolete before it arrived.

It seems no one was interested in having the graphics engine on the processor.

Isn't this at least partly why Cyrix died? And Via is planning on introducing new versions of their MediaGX processor, from what I understand -- it'll be interesting to see how successful they are.

Any thoughts?

Dave
