How is Cyrix able to sell CPUs for less than Intel?

A. The 6x86 is not only the first Pentium class processor that exceeds the performance of a comparable Intel processor, but it does so using a manufacturing technology that is one full generation behind the technology used by Intel. The first 6x86 samples and the 100-120 MHz parts were manufactured using a 0.6 micron technology.

The 133-150 MHz parts up to revision 2.7 were manufactured using a 0.5 micron technology. The revision 3.7 and above parts are a 10% optical shrinked design and were manufactured using a 0.44 micron technology. The revision 4.2 (6x86L) parts are manufactured using a 0.35 micron technology.

This means that Cyrix gets faster chips and higher margins at a much lower cost. Getting more performance out of a less aggressive process technology makes it easier and cheaper to obtain manufacturing capacity. Additionally, Cyrix is able to get the capacity without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.

By using a more advanced processor design instead of more advanced ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
