According to Wikipedia, 

"Cyrix merged with National Semiconductor <https://u2206659.ct.sendgrid.net/wf/click?upn=3cK2FVJjyu2N-2Bxco034fZuXg7pb6zmegjIVXNr5ZbBvcuKixVw-2BrcMSyawKwe-2B6FphB-2FLXmIlDIip4S0eJjIiw-3D-3D_6lpMB7VLnN-2Fj9-2FEErg8-2F-2BMBpb5QxlByTgv2M3fbWD9ebvC-2BWrN3h7jImK8EVWYBeul1-2BBbRPzB3GosT3z8SFRSnvOcovIY3LrO6kwS3CLiAQ0HL4iZaDXmFaasnQ6-2FfEZ7-2FZowUyD9owPkervaeGVvljWdb-2FWHR4gPDmLi4ZNyJxeIXoZ-2FkDWPiwHfbgusQ-2Bz2O7Bi94HP26HUfuflEyrySncid6Eqx2-2BHxPBv5k7nU-3D> on 11 November 1997.”

Some assets found their way to VIA, and later some were sold to AMD.
