Cyrix doesn't exist anymore. They were bought by Via a while back. Stay in the loop.

As far as a competitor to intel, it's actually fun to think about it logically. If AMD were to die, someone would buy it up. Would it be Intel? It could be. It could also be Via. It could also be IBM. Motorola? Texas Instruments? There are a multitude of companies that could snatch up AMD's technology/workforce and apply it to their own. Surely for a while there would be no competitor to intel but after a while, someone would try their hand at it. It could be any of the companies I just listed or one I didn't mention. It's fun ton think about, and my comments about AMD delaying hammer and producing a new stepping of Barton are hypothetical... but who knows? Maybe realistic?
