Cyrix would later release the Cyrix 486SRX2 and 486DRX2, which were essentially clock-doubled versions of the SLC and DLC, marketed to exclusively to consumers as 386-to-486 upgrades.
Later in 1995 Cyrix released its best-known chip, the 6x86, which was the first Cyrix CPU to exceed the performance of the Intel chip it was intended to compete against.
Cyrix, whose product had been considered a performance product in 1996, had fallen to the mid-range, then the entry level, and to the fringe of the entry level and was in danger of completely losing its market.

 Cyrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyrix founder Jerry Rogers aggressively recruited engineers and pushed them, eventually assembling a small but efficient design team of 30 people.
Cyrix had always been a fabless company: Cyrix designed and sold their own chips, but contracted the actual semiconductor-manufacturing to an outside foundry.
By the time National Semiconductor sold Cyrix to VIA Technologies, the design team was no more and the market for the MII had disappeared.

 Cyrix Cx5x86: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Cyrix Cx5x86
With better performance in most applications than an Intel Pentium processor at 75 MHz, the Cyrix Cx5x86 filled a gap by providing a medium-performance processor option for aging 486 Socket 3 motherboards (which are incapable of handling Intel's Pentium CPUs, apart from the Pentium Overdrive).
The processor was based on a scaled-down version of the "M1" core used in the Cyrix 6x86, which provided 80% of the performance for a 50% decrease in transistors over the 6x86 design.
The similarly-named IBM 5x86 was a licenced rebranding of the Cyrix design (IBM physically produced Cyrix's CPUs for them), marketed separately but identical for practical purposes, apart from the availability of a 75mhz edition which Cyrix did not bring to market, and slight differences in voltage requirements.

Cyrix founder Jerry Rogers was a hard-driving leader who head-hunted the best engineers in the USA and pushed them mercilessly.
Cyrix parts gradually fell further and further away from the performance mark, and their natural application shrank: to the mid-range, to the entry-level, and eventually to nothing at all.
Cyrix was left to stagger along for several months longer: bereft of direction, with morale at an all-time low, and losing their best engineers one by one.

The Cyrix 5x86 design, however, should not be confused with thesimilarly-named AMD Am5x86 which was essentially a fast 486 (not an all-new designlike the Cyrix part) but which had broadly similar performance, used the same Socket 3, and was introduced at the end of the sameyear.

The Cyrix Cx486DLC was an early 486 CPU from Cyrix, intended to compete with the Intel 486SX and DX.
Introduced in June 1992, like the later and more famous Cyrix Cx5x86 it was a hybrid CPU, incorporating features of a new CPU (in this case the Intel 80486) while plugging into its predecessor's socket.
As prices on Intel's 486 line fell, Cyrix found it more and more difficult for its 486SLC and DLC CPUs to compete and had to release a fully pin-compatible version of the 486SX and DX in 1993.

 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.

The combination of best-in-class clock speed and the write-back cache allowed the 5x86 to equal or slightly surpass an Intel Pentium 75 MHz processor in business application performance.
Also, because it was based on a pure 486 design, it was compatible with older systems, something its slightly faster rival, the Cyrix Cx5x86, had trouble with.
The CPU was commonly overclocked to 160 MHz, thereby giving performance similar to that of a Pentium 100 system.

They all ran on the 66 MHz FSB, which was not a particular issue with the 300, but became a major limitation with the faster-clocked parts, and Mendocino Celerons from about 433MHz upwards were adequate rather than good.

 x86 CPU Reference (part 1)
In early 1990s Cyrix Corp. (from Richardson, TX) entered the microprocessor market with both proprietarly-designed 386-class CPU core and microcode.
Cyrix's 386 CPUs were marketed as "486", but in fact they were just enhanced with the 486 command set and the little built-in cache.
Since Cyrix had no manufacturing facilities of its own, so all processors were produced on semiconductor factories of Texas Instruments and SGS-Thomson.

Lanzado en agosto de 1995, cuatro meses antes del Cyrix más famoso 6x86, el Cyrix Cx5x86 era la CPU más rápida producida siempre para los sistemas informáticos del conector hembra 3.
Interesante, algunas características funcionamiento-que realzaban de la CPU eran intencionalmente inhabilitado debido a los insectos potentionally estabilidad-amenazadores que no eran fijos antes de tiempo del lanzamiento (estas características se pueden permitir con utilidades de software libre-freely-downloadable; ver abajo).
El diseño de Cyrix 5x86, sin embargo, no se debe confundir con el AMD similar-nombrado Am5x86 que era esencialmente 486 rápidos (no un diseño completamente nuevo como la pieza de Cyrix) pero que tenían ampliamente funcionamiento similar, utilizado el mismo conector hembra 3, y fue introducido en el final del mismo año.
