McMannis - Re: "Halla isn't trying to kill Intel but hit a different market and actually avoid Intel to a certain extent."

Halla hasn't hit ANY MARKET.

He bought a company - Cyrix - with inferior technology (non-competitive) and hemorrhaging money.

He has now converted NSM - formerly successful in analog and communications - into a non-competitive company hemorrhaging money - with a vision of selling the highest of technology for the cheapest of prices.

Halla has essentially put NSM on a death march to nowheresville.

Seems to me that Halla isn't trying to kill Intel but hit a different market and actually avoid Intel to a certain extent.

That was the plan, but now Intel is specifically targetting the low-end (Mendocino, Whitney integrated chipset, etc). So Cryix/National can't count on any technical advantage, and Intel has all the business advantages in the world.
