They are two different companies. Cyrix is a smaller company, their processors are not as performant as Intel ones, however they would exponse exactly the same set of instructions. Regardless the lack of performance compared with Intel, Cyrix had a very good market in the mid 90s, for people that did not have the money to purchase Intel. Instead of purchasing an Intel at 166 Mhz with 400 dollars, one could purchase a Cyrix at 150 Mhz for only 99 dollars. Of course, the performance of the cyrix would be far smaller, but the price difference would make it worthwile. Had a Cyrix between 97 and 2000. Was very happy with it.

∙ 15y agoA Cyrix processor typically has much lower performance than an Intel processor of a comparable speed. The only main advantage that Cyrix has is that their processor run much cooler and draw less power than most Intel processors.

∙ 14y ago* The Intel 80486 lacks the CMPXCHG8B instruction, found in the Pentium and later * All Pentiums include the CPUID instruction. This was only included in later 486s. * The 80486 has a 32-bit data bus. The Pentium (except for OverDrive chips built as an upgrade for 486 systems) had a 64-bit data bus.

What was in use before Pentium 1?
The Intel 80486("eighty-four-eighty-six") (Marketed i486, spoken as Intel 486)
Which between Intel Pentium and Intel core is better?
Intel Core
What is the difference between the Intel Pentium D and the Intel Core 2 Duo?
The Pentium D is essentially a rebranded and double-cored version of the Pentium 4. The Core 2 Duo is a much more efficient and powerful processor.
What does Intel 486 mean?
The Intel 80486 was a microprocessor family produced by Intel introduced in 1989. It was their first 86 processor with a math coprocessor built into it. It's predecessor family were the 386 family and it's sucessor was the Pentium chip
How many versions of Intel Pentium are there?
There are version of Intel Pentium one through four as well as Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium D, Intel Pentium M, Pentium (2009), and Pentium Duel Core.
What is the difference between an Intel Pentium and Intel core2 due?
The Intel Pentium line encompasses many processors of many different architectures ranging from the original Pentium Processor of 1994 up to the Core 2 Duo based Pentium simply called the "Pentium". The Intel Pentium used to be Intel's flagship processor. Recently this position has been taken by the Core 2 Duo and Core i7. The Pentium now is reduced to a budget processor that offers lower performance but also lower cost.
What is the difference between Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Dual Core?
Pentium 4 uses Hyper-Threading, which is like a dual core, but isn't. A Dual-Core consists of 2(two) logical cores.
What was Intel's first microprocessor?
The 4004 was Intel's first microprocessor and the world's first single chip microprocessor. For the first PC as we know it (the 1981 IBM PC), it was the 8088, following with 80286, 80386, 80486 and then the Pentium line.
What is the difference between Intel Pentium su4100 1.3 ghz and Intel core 2 duo t6600 2.2 ghz?
The core 2 duo is faster.
Examples of central processing unit?
Intel 8088 Intel 8086 Intel 286 Intel 386 Intel 486 Intel Pentium Intel Pentium II Intel Pentium III Intel Pentium IV Intel Itanium Motorola 6800 Zilog Z80
Which is better an Intel Pentium III or an Intel Pentium Dual-Core?
The Intel Pentium Dual-Core is much faster.
Is an Intel Pentium better than an Intel Pentium D?
No. The Pentium predates the Pentium D by more than a decade.
