Bob,

MXi has been publicly disclosed to have 3D graphics. Cyrix frequently has job openings advertised on their web site for 3D graphics designers.

3D Graphics Features and Performance
MXi will incorporate a complete list of state-of-the-art 3D graphics features, including bi-linear and tri-linear filtering, Alpha blending/fog, Gouraud shading, MIP mapping and Z buffering. Additionally, the MXi will be D3D® and OpenGL® compliant for mainstream software compatibility.

With respect to performance, MXi has a 3D rendering capability of greater than 2 million triangles per second with a fill rate of 120 million pixels per second. In summary, MXi will deliver integrated, high-performance 3D processing with all the features of much more expensive multi-chip solutions.

Bob,

I know a guy at Cyrix that had working samples of MXi in their labs in Longmont, CO. last fall. He indicated Voodoo 2 level performance and that the technology was being licensed (not from NEC). I'm not sure what the big hold up has been. Again, it must be the 0.18u process.
