The Cyrix coma bug is a design flaw in Cyrix 6x86 (introduced in 1996), 6x86L, and early 6x86MX processors that allows a non-privileged program to hang the computer.
In fact, the 6x86 processor was clocked at a significantly lower speed than the Pentium counterpart it outperformed. Initially, Cyrix tried to charge a premium for the Cyrix-claimed extra performance, but the 6x86's math coprocessor was not as fast as that in the Intel Pentium. The main difference was not one of actual computing performance on ...
By way of example, a 150 volt PV array connected to an MPPT charge controller can be used to charge a 24 or 48 volt battery. Higher array voltage means lower array current, so the savings in wiring costs can more than pay for the controller. [citation needed] Charge controllers may also monitor battery temperature to prevent overheating.
Cyrix 5x86-120GP. The Cyrix 5x86 is a line of x86 microprocessors designed by Cyrix and released on June 5 of 1995. [1] [2] [3] Cyrix, being a fabless company, had the chips manufactured by IBM. The line came out about 5 months before the more famous Cyrix 6x86. The Cyrix 5x86 was one of the fastest CPUs ever produced for Socket 3 computer systems.
The 700 MHz version of the Cyrix III was available on January 19, 2001. The price would be $62 per chip in bulk quantities. [3] This was the last III chip released using the Samuel core, as the Samuel II was expected to be released in March. [4] Just a month later in February 2001, Cyrix III chips based on the Samuel 2 core were announced.
The Cyrix 6x86 is a line of sixth-generation, 32-bit x86 microprocessors designed and released by Cyrix in 1995. Cyrix, being a fabless company, had the chips manufactured by IBM and SGS-Thomson . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The 6x86 was made as a direct competitor to Intel's Pentium microprocessor line, and was pin compatible.
The Cyrix Cx486DLC is an x86 desktop microprocessor developed by Cyrix. It was Cyrix's second CPU offering, released years after selling math coprocessors that competed with Intel's units and offered better performance at a comparable or lower price. It was released in June of 1992, with a price of $119 for computer manufacturers.
A Cyrix Cx486S processor. Compatible with the Intel 486SX. Introduced in May 1993, the Cyrix Cx486S, codenamed M5, was designed to be compatible with the Intel 486SX and like the Intel part, did not have a floating point unit onboard which was of little concern to an average user at the time due to most games and applications using purely integer-based code.
