Craig

I seen the .35u line width. Couldn't believe it. Thought they were working on .18u. Wonder what the size of those things are?

CPU power with integration at ~0.2 milliwatt? Don't think so. Would be great but.... Maybe when they get to 0.13u and copper, .2 watts or somewhat closer.

Further comments anyone?

Craig,

Folks ... this baby would sell like hot cakes in all kinds of markets for <$30 (<$20 in 10K+). At $59.40, it's still in the design stage

I don't think you should take the price too seriously. The prices of MII chips on NSM site were typically $5 to $10 above the price of a single chip from the lowest cost vendor on Pricewatch.

It's a crying shame that Intel was prohibited from buying CYRX.

I didn't know that was the case. Anyway, NSM was selling only MII part of Cyrix, not MediaGX line.

Joe

If you have Watts to burn and a power cord budget, you can call Intel. The world needs gadgets that run on AA batteries instead of costly Lithium-Magnesium-Nickel-Cadmium--Explosive Toxic Waste-Hydride monsters. When that happens, sales will rocket.

There are plenty of low-power CPUs, they just don't run Win98 (which is OK, since Win98 requires a power-hungry hard drive to function anyway...)
