We can leave it there 20 years ago Intel ripped off Cyrix.
I keep seeing this assertion; I was there, never heard it. I can't really take this as anything other than blatant anti-Intel sentiment.
Even if Cyrix was on to something, their products were second or third tier at best. Perhaps Intel was inspired by Cyrix, but the accusation of ripping off is quite silly. Also, your quote that would back up such a claim is unsourced- and full of opinion.
And none of it erases the fact that AMD and Cyrix were copying Intel designs.
