Dan,

That graph that you displayed is relatively hard to interpret, however if I interpretted it correctly, Cyrix never had > 10% market share and it appears that Cyrix had anywhere from 4-8% share of the uP market. I wouldn't consider that a "huge" success.

While you do point out a possible "exception", there is a difference between "PR" ratings and MHz, in the eyes of the consumer.

As long as AMD keeps its ratings conservative, past (and current) experience indicates that they can be made to work.

Well, you do explicitly state "conservative". Personally, whether one is "conservative" in their ratings or not, PR rating in the past have proved to be a failure. Additionally, if you recall AMD utilized the PR rating for their K5 line of uP.
