Some news about Katmai:

The 32-bit chips will incorporate 70 new MMX instructions that improve floating-point and 3D-intensive application performance, as well as next-generation technologies such as natural-speech recognition and other human interface types.

To all,

Does the capacity to make 10 million chips apply to all processors? The story didn't say anything about MediaGX.

Also, what is your guess about the clock speed of the initial .25u 6x86 chips?

That article says CTX is number four at retail. That's impressive for an "off" brand. Cyrix will most likely gain share due to AMD's shift from 0.35 to 0.25. I don't think they will meet last quarter's number based on what I heard in their call.
