update The first casualty of the low-cost processor market is paradoxically one of the largest players in the computer industry: IBM.

IBM will have to discontinue its line of 6X86 MX processors as a result of the termination of its foundry agreement with National Semiconductor, according to sources at National. The chip has been used in Aptiva consumer computers sold in Europe and Canada as well as computers from regional domestic dealers like Tiger Direct.
