Cost-Conscious PC Makers Turn to Non-Intel Processors February 13, 1998 (TAIPEI) -- The low-price trend in the personal computer industry is encouraging Taiwan PC makers to use non-Intel Corp. microprocessors. This, in turn, has led to increased competition between other leading microprocessor makers, such as Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) and Cyrix Corp. Twinhead International Corp. said it plans to install either AMD's K6166 or Cyrix's GXm 166 microprocessors in its new notebook models. With a 20x CD-ROM drive and a 2.1GB hard disk, Twinhead's products will be priced between US$1,000 and US$1,500. Clevo Computer also plans to begin using either the GXm or the K6 in its notebooks from the third quarter of 1998.
