Ok. I take this computer class right. And the teacher was talking about which processors are better and more popular. yeah yeah whatever i already know everything that guys a noob so i sleeped like most of th lesson. He gave us a quiz then and there was like a question

The question asked to name one rival of Intel and i forgoet what else but it did mention something about legal troubes anyway I think its amd becus AMD is the best and the only 1 to rival is INTEL. Intel used 2 be good but amd is better now.

I put the ansewr as AMD and he says its wrong. He says its Cyrix. What the **** I never heard of no Cyrix lol. I say WHAT THE ****. That guy is dumb. He doesn't know anyhting about computers. Intel and AMD r like the only CPU manufacturuers how could it NOT be AMD .

Man he should be fired he doesnt know anytiga about computers. Im 15 and I know more than him lol.

HAHAHA YOUR TEACHER IS A *******!!! YOU SHOULD KICK HIM IN THE NUTZ NEXT TIME YOU SEE HIM.

Yes, it does sound like your teacher is an idiot.

WabblingManiac · 08-31-2005, 01:22 AM

but seriously, your teacher should know better.... there is only two manufactures: AMD and Intel.... I think there was a "Quantum" manufacturer at one time, they made processors like "Quantum Pro" and the "Quantum Lazer II".

Heyyo,

Cyrix used to be trying to make it big, but they failed and went under I believe. If I remember correctly, their preformance was ok, but their prices were horrible, so people went astray. So your teacher is like, stuck in computer stoneage there. I don't think Cyrix lived past 96.. I'm not sure exactly how long they were in the race, but they definately aren't a runner up anymore.

No No No, your thinking of Quantum. There is no Cyrix, its Quantum your thinking about!

Intels major competitor was Cyrix way before AMD became what it is today. So your teacher was right. If asked whom was Intels biggest competitor. AMD financially isn't in anyway shape or form close to intel.

IN 2004 Intel reported revenue of 8.0 - 8.2 billion dollars where AMD reported 3.4 billion dollars. Those number won't be drastically different in 2005.

Intel owns AMD and AMD owns Intel... Depend on how you look at it...

I was thinking the same thing when I was fixing an old emachines 4 a friend I swore it was a celeron but when I took off the heatsink it said Cyrix I was like wtf then I googled it.

Listen get your teacher on a computer and google amd and google Cyrix and show him who is intels biggest competitor,and show him what a dumb *** he is.

Yeah AMD is a competitor, but if he was focusing about teaching history, you should have listened.

Besides AMD and Intel, their is cyrix, IBM (PowerPC), Motorolla (I think they invented RISC) and Samsung (ARM processors)

Cyrix are alive and kicking in the low power segment.

Yea, but none of them can compete in the home processor department. Well, the XBox360 is using PowerPCs but what do ya expect? Fx-57s?

But yea, Though The_Mard got it mostly right, Cyrix is still alive, just no one knows about it

I have a A+ Certification Book, but I dunno where it is. It has a paragraph about Cyrix, I'll copy it here (and credit) when I find it.
