Excellent link Kelvin. Happy New Year Everybody! In case anyone missed it. In the first quarter of 1998, TSMC will manufacture 6X686 CPUs for Cyrix Corp. National Semiconductor Corp., Cyrix's parent, is doing a sample run of the 6X686 at 0.25 micron in its Santa Clara, Calif., fab and plans to move mass production to Portland, Maine. techweb.com More Cyrix articles at techweb.com

Kelvin, Hope that National-Semi could arrange in this way with IBM. It is to our benefit if NSM could assign all the GX/M2/MXi wafer productions to outside vendors and keep the most profit items in its own fabs. The way I look at is that these fab vendors, such as TSMC, UMC, etc., are more robust in manufacturing efficiency and cost saving to bring down the costs. The most important towards NSM is that the fab vendors are not afraid to invest big bucks as long as NSM could expand the market and give them enough orders. In return, NSM will be able to access "almost" unlimited ICs supplies to satisfy the coming exposive growth on affordable x86 information appliance market.
