Joe, <One thing I completely don't understand is what happened with this core once Via took over.> According to MPR (6/26/2000), "VIA Technologies has decided to take the dipstick approach to repairing its Cyrix III processor. (The 'dipstick approach' is used on automobiles that are in such disrepair that the only way to fix them is to remove the dipstick, drive a new car underneath, and replace the dipstick.)" Apparently VIA dumped the original Cyrix III core and replaced it with the WinChip 4 design that they acquired from Centaur. But they kept the Cyrix brand name. Tenchusatsu
