<The fact that Cyrix and IDT have adopted AMD's standard is a first in the entire history of the x86 processor. Intel is no longer the innovator!>

Not true!

AMD and Cyrix joined forces in defining a multiprocessor "standard" which avoided Intel's patents involving their APIC. This historical event went absolutely nowhere. My guess is that this new "historical" event will come to the same end.
