- makapuf 10y agoI remember cyrix being later in the game with its 686/166 Mhz proc which did wonders.
- jcoffland 10y agoCyrix had a 486.
- moogly 10y agoand 586 and 686: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrix_6x86 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrix_6x86 They used a Performance Rating, so the "PR166" wasn't actually running at 166 MHz but 133 MHz. The performance rating was meant to show that it was "equivalent to a 166 MHz Pentium".
- barrkel 10y agoThey marketed 5x86 and 6x86. Faster integer performance than Intel; the FPU was the weak spot.
