As a system builder for a "custom computer shop" back in 1997/98, I came here just to make sure Cyrix was on the list.

No IDT WinChip though, that's mildly surprising
I don't think the Winchip was that well known. But it never pretended to be a high performing design.
The list includes the MediaGX, so I thought it might be comparable in popularity/performance expectations.

To be honest, I remember the WinChip because I thought the printed Windows logo on the CPU was pretty cool. Texas and AMD also had the "designed for Windows 95" logo on some of their CPUs (some 486 and Overdrive designs, iirc)
