Scumbria - Re: "Cyrix is selling lots of CPUs, but only represents a small percentage of NSM's business and overhead." The new Portland Fab - already in a mess because the original 0.25 micron process is uncompetitive - represents a HUGE OVERHEAD BURDEN for NSM - most of it due to the Cyrix CPU line. NSM sure isn't cranking out LINEAR devices on a 0.18/0.25 micron CMOS fab. Further, NSM/Cyrix has design teams churning out unsaleable MXi's and HallaPeno Cores and Cayenne this and Cayenne That and PCOAC designs which won't generate a saleable product for 8 to 12 more months. You call all these design teams "negligible overhead" ? With overhead in Colorado, Texas and Israel? That's money being BURNED on a daily basis, Scumbria ! Paul
