They have less than one percent of the market. I have, personally, never
seen a Cyrix/VIA-powered computer over the past few years. Looking at
benchmark scores, Cyrix is always near the bottom. Even a Celeron at
could probably beat a C3 processor at twice the clock speed....

Everyone I know uses either Intel or AMD processors. Intel/AMD combined
probably have around 90~95% of the market, with Cyrix, Transmeta,
PowerPC, SPARC and other RISC processors battling for the rest.

I've seem more Apples than Cyrixs, and that says a lot...
