Craig - Re: 130.113.184.129

{====================}
"The M3/Mojave team slit their own throats.  They were asking for huge retention packages.  Gobi is far behind schedule, and currently limited by a design screw-up to 207MHz in 0.18u (M2 currently at 300MHz) -- talking real frequency.  The Gobi customer samples didn't go out in July.

Stan Swearingin (sp?) (Editor's note:  the name is Stan Swearington), who was widely quoted in many articles at the time of the initial sale, quietly quit a couple weeks ago.

The whole Mojave team was let go today.

The M2/Gobi teams are staying.
Richardson is being shut down.  If the next revision of Gobi isn't working (due later in August), then that design will go away.  (They're finding bugs again that were first seen almost 12 months ago on MXi in the CPU core.  A realistic estimate for production on Gobi is 9 to 12 months from today"

Fuchi must love these Cyrix Innovations.

Craig,

Well since I posted it I have at least one more set of comments on that page and there are a couple more I am considering posting. The funny thing is that there are some of us who had this news on Friday morning. We just ate it in case it turned out not to be true. (There was a 2pm meeting at Cyrix to discuss it and we wanted to wait)..

One of these days I'm just going to have to run with a story from the get go.. <G>

Steve
