There were conflicting reports on US wires yesterday evening that Taiwanese foundry TSMC was considering buying the Cyrix fab. One wire quoted a TSMC executive as saying it was interested in buying the fab while another wire quoted a TSMC executive as saying wasn't interested in buying the fab. But, in the process, a National executive confirmed that it was talking to several companies, as we reported earlier this week.
