Sys Technology takes a stab at breaking the Intel hegemony with an IBM 6x86MX-PR233-based system zdnet.com The 233M2 achieved the same level of speedy performance as our benchmark system, a 266MHz Pentium II-based Dell Dimension XPS D266, on the Business Winstone 98 benchmark, a test of the system's overall Windows application performance.

The Future of Cheap zdnet.com At Fall Comdex, for example, Cyrix announced that it will sell PCs based on its integrated MediaGX processor for $500 to $1,000, complete with 10/100Mbps Ethernet and a BIOS that supports remote booting. The MediaGX will reach speeds of 200MHz and perhaps 233MHz, based on an 83MHz bus speed, by the first quarter of '98. As I've noted previously, the interesting thing about the MediaGX is that it integrates controller logic for memory, audio, and graphics, reducing the need for costly add-in cards and making it inherently cheaper to build systems. Ironically, Intel didn't do particularly well with its earlier integrated-logic SL processors. At this point, it could take Intel a year or more to produce a true integrated processor, should it decide to do so. Joe
