Cyrix Jalapeno to go standalone

Cyrix said today its plans for its Jalapeno platform remain unchanged but it did confirm that it will produce a standalone version. However, it is likely to be next year before the wonder-chip appears. A representative said: "There's no change in our strategy. Cyrix will sample Jalapeno in Q4 of this year." But reliable reports insisted that the first iteration of the standalone version would arrive in the year 2000. ®
