"A foundry which puts their customers out of business will not last long as a foundry."

Unless they keep locating new customers.

"Instead of underselling Cyrix with their half, IBM could have sold all the wafers to Cyrix and let Cyrix make money off them. At the time, M1 was about 50% the price of an equivalent Pentium."

Cyrix was having a hard enough time selling their own share. At least with IBM devoting effort to attracting new OEMs, the market for what processors were produced was larger.

Apparently, the real problem was that IBM was simply producing too many 6x86 processors.
