Did Cyrix cease to exist or is this someone using their x86 license?
EDIT: That's exactly what it is! They are a joint venture with VIA which acquired most of Cyrix in 1999:

- JonathonW 1y agoAnd Cyrix MediaGX (which remained with National Semiconductor after the VIA acquisition) became Geode which was eventually sold to AMD.
- diamond559 1y agoVIA has their own license and joint CPU project w/ a Chinese company apparently, could be related to that?

Zhaoxin is mentioned in the article: "As pointed out in the Phoronix Forums, it could be Zhaoxin. But as they have contributed GCC patches, Glibc patches, Linux kernel patches, etc, over the years it's not clear why they would go unnamed or have to relay the message via Ludloff rather than their prior direct mailing list posts."
