Cyrix Media GX

The more processing that occurs on the CPU itself, the more efficiently the PC system performs. The reason for integration is simple: In traditional computer designs, the CPU processes data at the megahertz of the chip, while the bus that moves data to and from other components operates at only half that speed, or even less. This means that data movement to and from the CPU takes more time -- and the potential for data "stalls" increases.

Cyrix eliminated this bottleneck with MediaGX technology. By putting multimedia and system functions right onto the processor itself, MediaGX technology delivers advanced system features in an integrated processor solution for less cost than traditional PC designs -- without sacrificing performance.
