The later 6x86L was a revised 6x86 that consumed less power, and the 6x86MX (M2) added MMX instructions and a larger L1 cache. The Cyrix MII, based on the 6x86MX design, was …

The M2 (6x86MX) was first announced to be in development in mid 1996. It would have MMX and 32-bit optimization. The M2 would also have some of the same features as the Intel Pentium …

M2 Key Features u High-performance superscalar native x86 core • Optimizations for 16-bit and 32-bit code • 2x faster than the 6x86 on 32-bit code • Enhanced cache, MMU, BTB u 180 to …

May 26, 1998 · Exactly one day before Intel announced the release of their first processors with support for the 100MHz Front Side Bus, Cyrix made a press release about their next …

7 Different 6x86 / MII Processors. All split voltage models, and MIIs are lower voltage models. Fastest one: MII-433GP, 300MHz. Coincidentally, the MII 266GP pictured by Geo is now in …

We test every processor in 4 ways: memory bandwidth (and how the performance flaw affects it); 16 bit DOS using our own CBENCHP benchmark; Windows 95 using the standard real …

With its enhanced memory management unit, a 64-KByte internal cache, and other advanced architectural features, the M II™processor achieves high performance and offers better value …

The Cyrix 6x86MX processor is an enhanced 6x86 processor, that can process 57 new multimedia instructions compatible with MMX technology. The processor also operates at a …

To achieve this goal, the M2 uses a two-level TLB. The relatively small, 16-entry level-one TLB is direct mapped to support high clock rates. It is backed by a 384-entry, six-way set-associative …

After Cyrix was purchased by National Semiconductor in 1997 they terminated their foundry agreement with IBM. National fabricated their own chips and the 6x86MX was re-named MII. …
