Fuchi,

Sounds like Intel may be headed for some serious long-term profit issues-

I agree completely with this article. I have spent a lot of time writing on this thread about the absolute necessity of an extremely small, inexpensive die.

The problem is that not only has Intel failed to meet this challenge, but so has Cyrix. Cyrix has been obsessed with "performance at any cost" CPU's since the inception of the M1. M2 and MXi come in the same category. The last product which Cyrix made any real money on was the 486 (three years ago.)

Media GX is a good stab at integration, but the die size is too big to compete against C6 and other low cost CPU's being developed, (particularly in lieu of the fact that MediaGX has a 16K cache, and C6 has a 64K cache.)

My fervent hope is that National will recognize this fact and do something about it. Maybe that is what the Israel site is all about?
