Just stumbled across this on YouTube and it caught my eye as my very first computer (pre-built from a high street retailer in 1998/9 I think) had a Cyrix M2 chip in it and even though I upgraded to AMD I remember wondering what happened.


Looks like if they had more financial backing then we could be looking at an alternative CPU landscape today. Whilst that could be said for most companies Cyrix actually seemed to have decent tech and were competing well with much lower money in the bank.
