The MediaGX System consists of two chips-- the MediaGX processor and the MediaGX Cx5510 companion chip. This system eliminates the t raditional audio and video cards, and all AT motherboard components of a PC. The MediaGX processor is a 64-bit data bus, x86-compatible processor with a proven core. The processor has 16 kB L1 cache and an FPU. The CPU directly interfaces to the PCI bus and the DRAM memory. The graphics frame buffer of the built-in sVGA (VESA 2.0) hardware is stored in main memory. Sound Blaster compatible (2x16bit stereo, 48 kHz) hardware and also integrated I/O devices (PCI, ISA, SP, PP) are incorporated in the Cx5510 companion chip.
The MediaGX incorporates a 5x86 core with added functions, such as a 64-bit-wide DRAM controller, a PCI-bus interface and a unified memory display controller. the 5x86 is itself a scaled down 6x86.
The MediaGX is why National bought Cyrix. Later AMD bought the GX (then the Geode) from National and it continues to be made today. ----------------------------------------------- National's design team in Herzlia, Israel reworked the GXm into the GX1 which is a lower power version with more features. ------------------------------------------------- National also created the GXLV which is the low voltage version of the GXm. ------------------------------------------------- Bus Speed: 33MHz Memory: 122MHz Multiplier: 11 Fab'd by: National ------------------------------------------------- This is a FAKED CPU.
