Anyone remember Cyrix ??

Anyone remember Cyrix? What happened to the guys that helped design them? This was way back when the Intel 486DX2 couldn't leave the country as it was a national security issue if it did. Cyrix went and built a CPU that was epic durring it it all. Didn't Intel absorb them? This was during the Pentium Pro days.

The combination of these events led Cyrix to begin losing money, and the company merged with National Semiconductor on 11 November 1997.[5][6] National released Cyrix's latest designs under the MediaGX name and then an updated version as Geode in 1999. National sold the line to AMD in August 2003 where it was known as Geode. The line was discontinued in 2019.[7]
Well, the Geode CPU is what is/was in the ALIX boards...
