Does the Cyrix 6×86 support multi-processing?
A. The Cyrix 6×86 does support multiprocessing. It supports multi-processing using the OpenPIC architecture. This is a alternative architecture to Intel’s own branded APIC architecture. More information about the details of OpenPIC can be found by emailing openpic@amd.com. This is an automated email reply system. The AMD K6 supports OpenPIC also. The problem, however, it that currently no motherboards on the Cyrix MB compatibility list support OpenPIC and there are no motherboard manufacturers that are currently planning on doing so.
