Yousef,
I wasn't really talking about processes and speed bins...but that looking forward I like Cyrix's road map a whole lot better than AMD's.
It's very hard for Intel to tough Cyrix/NSM at the low end and with any intergrated chip. They may be able to carve a new niche whereas AMD is destined to buck up entirely against Intel. No impossible but a harder road to hoe.
There are two ways to gain market share vis a vis similar products. One, make it cheaper and make it better. AMD has a good chip but it's similar to Intel's...Cyrix/NSM on the other hand is looking for some new territory where the competition isn't quite as heavy.
