Hardware Description

The earlier versions of the 6x86 had problems with heat and power consumption. Responding to customer complaints, Cyrix came out with a lower powered version called the 6x86L. This processor reduces power consumption by 25% or more compared to the original 6x86. It uses a smaller, 0.35 micron circuit size and split voltage much like the Pentium MMX (3.3V external, 2.8V internal).
