Cyrix
Story
​
Cyrix was a company dedicated to the manufacture of processors. It began operations in 1988 as a supplier of high-performance math coprocessors for 80286 and 80386 systems.
Founded by former Texas Instruments workers.
Among its first processors was the 486SLC series and the 486DLC series that we can see here.
This was the third force in processor manufacturing, led by Intel followed by AMD.
Cyrix processors always had a somewhat lower performance than Intel and AMD, although given their lower price, they were a good option especially for computers dedicated to office automation and learning.
