    The cyrix line of cpu was always far behind intel and amd. They ran super hot too. One time we wanted to see how much we could overclock one and it burned itself through the motherboard!

      Offtopic, but I’ve seen an arcade monitor where a component (resistor, most likely) had burned a hole through the PCB and was gone… and the monitor was still operational!

        This is somewhat common. I had that happen with a VRM power transistor on a graphics card. Wasn’t very operational after it happened though.
