Kevin Great response to StockMan and his trashing of Cyrix. Actually, I think he is afraid of Cyrix and what they have created in the CPU market. In the last post by RG, I recall the link about the notebooks and the paragraph about Compaq starting the sub $1000 PC. That trend gives him something else to worry about. I recall him tiptoeing through the field of daisies recently and got lost... Scheb

Kevin, Re -- And the fact that Intel has plans to, at least in part, emulate the system on a chip design should be a signal to you that indeed, Cyrix may have done something innovative. Remember the 386SL? Maybe Intel looked at the 486GX type designs, and discarded it for various reasons. So what you call Cyrix innovations could really be the cud that Intel chewed on before spitting it out!!! Face it Kevin, useing yesterdays designs on todays process technology gives one a leg up on cost for a while, but the performance sucks as is evident from the benchmarks. Maybe thats cyrix true innovation, slow yesterdays processors can sell!!! Stockman
