| | php-deluxe.net - description: Cyrix |
 | | In 1995, with its Pentium clone not yet ready to ship, Cyrix repeated its own history and released the Cyrix+Cx5x86, which plugged into a 486 socket, ran at 100, 120 or 133 MHz, and yielded performance comparable to that of a Pentium running at 75 MHz. |
 | | Cyrix had always been a Fabless+semiconductor+company manufacturer: in other words, they designed and sold their own chips, but farmed the actual manufacture out to outside contractors. |
 | | Both firms gained out of this: Cyrix could carry on having their CPUs made by Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, or IBM (as it happened, all holders of Intel cross-licenses); Intel avoided a potentially embarrassing loss. |
