Will use Cyrix name for Centaur parts

Published Tuesday 14th September 1999 10:00 GMT

The first indication of how Via will integrate its Cyrix and Centaur chip families has appeared on the Web.

And, the site says, Via will retain the Cyrix brand name but use Centaur cores. There is also some information there about the PR clock speeds the low-priced parts will adopt.
