Anthony,

I suspect that the Jalapeno core will have a triple floating point unit.. Call it a hunch ;-) This should also be a good sign that Cayanne is almost in product as Cyrix is moving their attention down the line.

Boy I can't wait for this year's microprocessor forum. ....

(sorry folks, I read on into the article and.. )HOLY $HIT.. what the F*CK is this:

But Intel has thoughtfully opened a fourth alternative for the company, according to Swearingen. "With the advent of Socket-370, everything changes. Here is an interface that is inexpensive and implementable. And because it uses GTL-type levels, it can go 133 MHz or more - much faster than Intel is pushing it. We are actively looking at that."

Taking 370 and stuffing it to Intel... it almost looks like Cyrix is willing to go with a STANDALONE PROCESSOR!!!!!!!!!!!.. Not only integrated!!!!! Anyone else confused?

DOUBLE HOLY $HIT:

"In fact, we are seeing speeds from National's CMOS-8 process in South Portland, Maine, that are right on top of what we were seeing from IBM's CMOS-6S-2," Swearingen said. "And we have parts in hand from a 0.18-micron process that is in development."

I smell a freight train.. may have given up on this puppy a little too earlier. It could be toliet trained.. just took a bit longer!!!!!!!

Steve

Going LONG...
