RE:"I'm sure they will be tweeking the integer performance at least a little."

Pravin,

The lesson of the 90's for CPU architects, was that it is much easier to gain performance through increased megahertz than through architectural enhancements. The integer performance of Cayenne will be improved because the clock speed will be higher, regardless of any tweaks.

RE:"Cyrix were going to beat Intel to a 100 Mhz bus by several months. It looks like the opposite will be true."

The Media GX processors use an internal memory/IO bus which runs at the CPU speed, (currently 200MHz.) Cyrix has already won this battle. Look for future integrated processors to take the bus speed to 300 MHz and above.
