Dale Thanks for the link that this quote came from. Joe, maybe they have sold a ton. <g> <It took The Register a little while to get to the bottom of this latter phenomenon. Just hanging around the stand for a while, we heard a couple of the sales boys explain to a couple of the punters that this was a massive deal and that Fujitsu had really bitten on the GX.> Also. I seen an article earlier this evening that mentioned a processor from Cyrix that had a new name that I didn't recognize and due out in Jan 99. Now I can't find the article. Anyone know what it was?

Dale, Here is a link from C\|Net's news.com which is the most shot at Cyrix Roadmap I have seen: news.com Notice: At the high end of Cyrix's product family will be "Jedi," a processor built around National's upcoming Cayenne processor technology. The Jedi, which is essentially a modified Intel clone chip, will be National's most traditional offering. The processor will fit into Pentium-compatible ("Socket 7") motherboards which are also used for AMD's K6 processors. In general, the Jedi will succeed the current M II processor. "The Jedi will be the highest performance chip in the entry level," said Tobak. While ostensibly a clone, the chip will come out on a next-generation 0.18-micron manufacturing process, the first chip from Cyrix to be released under this advanced manufacturing technology, said Tobak. Jedi will run at speeds that Cyrix says will be equivalent to 366 MHz and 450 MHz. These are PR rated speeds. MXi speeds and schedule are consistent with what PC Week Taiwan printed according to Scheb's link to Yahoo: Just underneath the Jedi will be the MXi, due in April 1999. The MXi will share the same Cayenne processor technology as the Jedi but integrate, among other features, a 3D graphics processing unit. The chip, which comes out in April 1999, will run at 333 MHz to 400 MHz. These should be are real MHz. Joe
