Bob,

The thing that struck me about that article, was that every system mentioned had an MII processor in it. Cyrix is gaining ownership of the entry level market.

"AMD's dominance becomes even more striking when you look at PCs priced under $1,000. Within this segment AMD made up 68% of sales with Intel making up 16.2% and Cyrix making up 15.6%. The AMD K6-2 is clearly a winner," Sargent said.

If the rumor proves to be correct and all Compaq, IBM, HP and Packard Bell offer their low end systems with Cyrix chips, Cyrix can gain some serious market share. If Cyrix had 15% of sub-$1000 PCs with just Packard Bell as a major supplier, it should increase significantly, bringing in more revenues.
