[edit] Tone
The fact that this article is a reprint of another article notwithstanding, it suffers from a blatantly unencyclopedic tone and should be significantly edited. It reads more as an op-ed piece than an encyclopedia entry. It could be written more suitably while retaining the acknowledgment to the original author. If there are no objections, I will attempt a rewrite -- strictly a stylistic edot, since I have no technical expertise on this topic -- in the near future. -- Nonstopdrivel 03:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The link (http://www.redhill.net.au/) given as the source of this article contains nothing about Cyrix, but is seems rather to be a website for buying computers. Sneaky spamming?

[edit] NPOV
Erm, this is clearly Intel-bashing as is common among most "rebels":
"So while AMD's 386s and even 486s had some Intel-written microcode software, Cyrix's designs were completely independent. Focused on removing potential competitors, Intel spent many years in legal battles with Cyrix, claiming that the Cyrix 486 violated Intel's patents. (Just as Intel did with every other x86 CPU manufacturer right up until 1998.)"
The parenthetical is not necessary. Worse still, it is a fragment. It's fact, yes, but it could be reworded nicely.
I'll leave it to someone more knowledgable.
[edit] Cx486
Can anyone add a Cx486 article like German version ? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cx486

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:180px-Cyrix logo.gif
Image:180px-Cyrix logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:23, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
