We're proud to sample the highest performance x86 microprocessor in the world -- once again demonstrating our pre-eminent design capabilities, -- said Jerry Rogers, president and CEO of Cyrix. It is a tribute to our engineering team that we've developed this 6th generation architecture that will carry us through 1997.
The M1 is superscalar and superpipelined, and incorporates performance-enhancing techniques such as branch prediction, out of order completion, speculative execution, data forwarding and register renaming. The M1 runs existing x86 code in native mode. Cyrix's M1 is positioned to provide these 6th generation features and performance to the desktop marketplace in mid 1995. Cyrix gave financial analysts the first preview of the M1 product at a meeting yesterday sponsored by several Dallas area semiconductor companies.
