During the second quarter of 1995, Cyrix recognized settlement income of $10 million from Intel Corporation, as that company elected not to further appeal a January 21, 1994 court decision concerning certain of Cyrix's microprocessor products.
Aggressive pricing in the entry-level 486 microprocessor market resulted in the sequential decline in revenue and profit margins. "We expect entry-level 486 processor margins to decrease further in the third quarter, " said Jerry Rogers, Cyrix President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our challenge is to ramp the 5x86 processor as steeply as possible in order to offset declining 486 business."
"We made the right decision when we committed our resources to the new products and to exit the 486 portion of the marketplace," Rogers said. "With the M1 expected to contribute revenue late in the quarter and initial shipments of the 5x86 already in progress, we look forward to a complete transition of our line to these new products."
Cyrix's 5x86 is the first full-featured chip to challenge the Intel Pentium® processor's dominance of fifth-generation, x86 microprocessors.
