That Mobile Gx stuff you talk about is meaningful to NSM. Media Gx (& the future examples that spawn from it) is why they bought Cyrix.

It was never NSM's intention to fully develop their .35 process at such a late stage compared to intc process. It was always their intention to concentrate on .25. When they purchased Cyrix, Halla said that their fab would start .25 in the second half of '98. We are two weeks into that.

NSM holders see movement toward the .18 process (which among other things will have the world's first x86 pcoac) at a rate which no intc competitor has ever done before.

When was the last time Cyrix/NSM announced a meaningful new product

Stockmeister,

If my memory serves me correctly, Intel has been doing incremental spins on the same product for about the last 20 years. About once every five years they add a couple of new instructions and increment the first digit in the processor name.

And in which millenium can we expect to see the "meaningful new product" called Merced?
