Agreed. This was never the case. Cyrix CPUs generally performed terribly.

There was a time period when Cyrix CPUs had excellent performance, on balance best integer performance, not so good floating point. They excelled at running Office apps (at the time when MSFT Office was somewhat demanding on the CPU), sucked at increasingly popular 1st person shooters.
