Cyrix  had some very innovative tech in them putting them on part with AMD and Intel for certain things. but they went under in 1997, and their assets went to AMD and VIA

Hi,

I seem to recall in the early 90's Cyrix chips were less expensive that Intel and AMD.

I also seem to recall there was a bug in their math logic.  I do not recall hearing of Cyrix after that. 

Anyone recall what happened?  I did some research and found the coma bug -- however I do not think that was it.  

Thinking about what Intel is going through made me think of Cyrix.

I would not doubt Intel goes out of business and comes back as something else.
