<The 2.2 volt operation - at maybe a real 466 MHz - is a dead give away. >

This could be a short term problem. If my memory serves me right Samuel - slated for second half of 2000 is processor with 18-stage pipeline.

<VIA CAN'T BE competitive - and they will be selling at a LOSS - which will become a BIGGER loss day by day.>

VIA is a smart player. They don't have any fabs to depreciate. If they take business at 30 points (15 point to National and 15 to Via would be my guess) the CPU can be sold profitably at $40. Without depreciation issues to worry about I don't think they will take new business if they do not make money on the CPU or, at the least, the combined CPU+Chipset business.

Paul,

Here are two posts you made within a few minutes of each other:

It took NSm about 2 years - and IDT the same - to blow out of the x86/Intel competition - after suffering deeper and deeper and deeper losses.

Has it ever occurred to you that VIA's Cyrix III is NOT a Socket 7 device - but is SPECIFICALLY a Socket 370 device ?

Is Cyrix dead, or isn't it? ;^))

Scumbria, who loves Cyrix innovation.
