Greg, Intel leaves us all with the conforting thought of the self serving satsifaction of knowing there is nothing left for them to copy. Unfortunately, I don't have the comfort thought about there is nothing left for Intel to copy. The recently announced Intel low cost system-on-the-chip with 2D/3D and DVD is just a clone of Cyrix MXi. With the extended crossing-license agreement between NSM and Intel, Intel could clone any Cyrix processors legally. In 486 days, Intel defined that it would be a new generation processor if the later processor could outperform the older one by 20~25% on the same clock speed. By this definition, Cyrix 6x86MX is one to two generations ahead of Intel PII. Imaging if Intel fully cloned Cyrix M2 and utilize their advanced processing and irresistible marketing muscle, AMD might be out of x86 processors in no time. Of course, it could be even worse if Intel fully "duplicates" Cyrix MXi. :( Fuchi K Who loves Cyrix's innovations Don't buy Intel processors! In stead, buy the processors from its competitors to keep Intel from long-term monopolizing x86 processor market while maintaining health competition and the PC innovations. techstocks.com
