"Is this Scumbria's cue to not talk about the Cyrix MediaGX again?"

Probably. Assuming that Scumbria worked on the MediaGX, he has every right to be proud of that. I really like the idea of integrated chips, for the handheld stuff I do they make life so much easier. But they also really stretch out the design cycle, it seems to take a lot longer to do an integrated chip than a dedicated CPU. And there is always the bandwidth problem, on a SA1110 you can chew up all of the memory bandwidth if you use a 640 by 480 with 24 bit color display for the display alone...
