Founded in 1988, Cyrix Corporation designs, develops and manufactures high-performance processors for the personal computer industry.

From the beginning, Cyrix has competed in a market dominated by a single company. But in 1995, with the development of the first sixth-generation processor for the desktop, Cyrix emerged as the only true alternative in an otherwise homogenous market. The Cyrix 6x86™ offers the first real challenge for performance leadership in the history of the marketplace, providing higher performance for Pentium® desktops and a challenge to Pentium Pro solutions. With the arrival of the 6x86™, the computer industry wins.

The fact is, the personal computer industry needs Cyrix to successfully challenge our competitor's dominance of the marketplace. Our customers, who manufacture personal computers, need viable alternatives if they are to maintain control over their products. Cyrix now offers them a genuine alternative in the design and manufacture of high-performance processors. With the 6x86, they can choose Cyrix for performance second to none.

Of course, our customers are not the only winners. Their customers -- the end users -- win as well, because Cyrix processors will run their Windows-based applications faster. Who else wins? The people of Cyrix, who have designed and developed the 6x86 to outperform all rivals. Very simply, we built a better processor, based on an original architecture. By offering the industry a viable alternative in leading-edge x86 processors, the people of Cyrix have created a competitive environment -- empowering PC manufacturers, improving end users' performance, and challenging engineers. In short, everybody wins.
