Het is vandaag 1 april en dat zal je weten ook! CNet schrijft dat Cyrix met een CPU komt lopend op 1*10^6 Mhz. De die size is wel aardig groot uitgevallen, waarschijnlijk gebruiken ze nog een .35 micron technologie...
VIA Technologies made a surprise announcement this morning: it is set to unleash an unprecedented 100-THz processor, the Cyrix III 100-THz 7x86. THz stands for terrahertz; one terrahertz is equal to one thousand gigahertz.
"Intel and AMD can wallow in the puny gigahertz market for as long as they wish," said a VIA representative who chose to remain nameless. "Our Cyrix III 100-THz 7x86 with SuperFantasticMega3DNow! is faster and less expensive than either the 1-GHz Athlon or the Pentium III processors. And wait until you see the floating-point performance!"
SuperFantasticMega3DNow!, he elaborated, is a set of proprietary multimedia extensions, similar but superior to AMD's 3DNow! and Intel's SIMD extensions. "With Super3DX support, games won't need a 3D accelerator card at all," said the source. Asked about game developer support, he said, "Our evangelists are talking to all of the major publishers and developers as we speak. We've already seen interest from Head Games, makers of the top-selling Extreme Series, including Extreme PaintBrawl 2 and Extreme WaterSports."

Aangezien het 1 april is wil ik je het volgende nieuws niet onthouden: er komt een nieuwe muis van Microsoft, de Intellimouse Explorer Pro. Deze muis is niet alleen zonder bal maar ook zonder knoppen:
