80486-SX
Remember Intel's marketing of the
80386-SX? Well, in a classic case of taking lemons and making lemonade,
Intel took some of its 80486 CPUs that had defective math
co-processors, burned out the ability to access the defective math-co,
and sold them as 80486-SX CPUs. Once again, Intel had a hit.
All too often success comes with
a price. In this particular instance, that price came with competition.
Remember Cyrix and FastMath? Well, when Intel looked to bury Cyrix's
FastMath by putting the math-co in the CPU, Cyrix responded by making
CPUs. And Cyrix wasn't alone in looking to take a bite out of Intel.
Another firm with a fair amount of experience in turning sand into dollars
called Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) figures prominently
in really ticking Intel off.
