Jules - Re: "What do you make of this: Cyrix's MediaGX..."

In one year, ONE mainline PC manufacturer - Compaq - has signed on with the MediaGX.

Where is the groundswell of support except for this and a bunch of cheap MediaGX motherboards from Taiwan?

Cyrix has lost money on this approach - they will continue to lose money as they add more features and increase their costs.

When you read this Cyrix-Killer B.S. day in and day out in the media press, then read Cyrix's quarterly reports, you have to wake up and do a reality check!

Cyrix is losing money and besides Compaq, nobody with a reputable brand name is using their product. Even IBM has dropped Cyrix - and IBM does the Fab work for Cyrix! Some endorsement!

Reality speaks for itself - the technical media press puts their spin on things because they dislike runaway success. They think they can appeal to the populous by trumpeting the "David Beats Goliath" story day after day after day after day after day.

David may have beaten Goliath (that's old news) but Intel makes a helluva lot of money and Cyrix loses a helluva lot of money.

Period.
