Andy, about: >( BW)(CYRIX)(CYRX) Cyrix Reveals M2 MMX Implementation at Hot Chips Symposium< Does anyone care what Cyrix "reveals" for new products? I mean, just in the last month they've been in the press for three show stoppers on current chips: 1. The overheated chip problem. One OEM is using a heat sink and THREE fans just for the CPU chip? Give me a break. 2. Their clocking strategy where they run the 6whatever86 at what sounds like within picoseconds of crashing. Raise the ambient temperature a couple of degrees and it does. 3. The performance problem running the latest Windows NT (4.0). These have all been in PC Week and other publications. Number 3 may be a design bug which can be fixed but the first two indicate to me that this company is out to grab every piece of performance they can with no regard for reliability. There are standards in the industry for safe chip junction temperature and for recommended frequency margin on clocked devices. Either the company doesn't know what they are (hard to believe) or they choose to ignore them. Who's to say they won't cut corners again on these or, now that the word's out about these particular parameters, something else. Tony
