NSC believes that a full consolidation will benefit the PC market below $ 500 and the completion of low-cost information market solutions. The high-performance X86 family of processors in the Cyrix product family will allow NSC to grow rapidly in the NetPC, handheld PCs, web browsers and other messaging applications. Due to lower customer TCO requirements, ease of use requirements and requirements for single-function applications (such as set-top boxes),
