Ace's Hardware heeft wat meer info gevonden over de opvolgers van VIA's Cyrix III processor, de Samuel en Matthew. De Samuel zal gebaseerd worden op de Winchip-4 en zal in in het tweede kwartaal zonder L2 cache gereleased worden. Sam II zal wel 256k L2 on-die cache krijgen en volgt begin 2001. Over de Matthew is nog weinig bekend, behalve dat hij DDR-SDRAM zal ondersteunen.
PC Watch Japan has more coverage on Cyrix III, and more importantly, its successors Samuel and Matthew. Unfortunately I can only extract a few bits out from the report since it's in Japanese: Samuel is based on Winchip-4, and as I reported days ago, there will be two versions available. Sam II will have 256k L2 on-die cache and will debut in H1 2001; Sam I will have no L2 but less power-consuming and will be out by H2 2000. Also, VIA's answer to Intel's Timna is called Matthew, and info on Matthew remains sketchy. If I read it correctly, Matt will support DDR-SDRAM. As for integrated chipset, VIA is slated to introduce Apollo PM (ProMedia)-266 chipset with integrated Savage2000 and DDR-SDRAM in 2001.
