It merely has to outperform the M1 and K5. The Pentium : already won the real battle. How come? Many people are still without Pentium and are just about to uppgrade within 1 year. There is still time for Cyrix and AMD to show people their chips performance and little time (not much) to bring those chips to mass market. : -- another CPU line (PowerPC) wont have a big chance to grab marketshare : for several more years. I don't think they are even trying to do so today. I suppose they are waiting the moment when Windows is dead (after Memphis? or maybe before it, who knows who cares) and Win NT is the OS. -- Jani Miettinen t93074@mail.vitech.fi
