Jim,

Well like I said it's believable, but I haven't been able to confirm it yet. One reason is our international trunk line is down due to a lightening strike, so my contacts could be trying to call me, to no avail.

I agree it will be nice to see real .25 parts. It will also be nice to see 300Mhz GX (which if what I hear is true will be released ahead of schedule (with the 266))

Steve

Jim,

Re: "Tell tale sign is the core voltage of 2.5v on the PR333. It will be refreshing
to see PR400 parts on a real .25u process ..."

"By Jove", Jim ... I think you are starting to "get it". (Not all .25um
processes are equal!!). Should be very interesting to see the specs on
NSM's .25um process.

Make It So,
Yousef

Jimmy,
Re -- PR300 and PR333...

Wonder if Cyrix/NSM even bothered to run the PR benchmark to see if it corressponds to PR300 and PR333.

I suspect they just increased the Mhz by some small fraction and called it PR300.

Investor A:

Looks like Cyrix is committing FRAUD by calling their chips PR300 and PR333... Its another of their innovations.
