Other CPU manufactures, mainly AMD and Cyrix, have also jumped in to develop "Intel Clones." Their CPUs are "Intel Compatible." These chips can usually be used in any PC that was designed to use an original Intel CPU. These CPUs usually cost a little less than Intel's.

Today you can find PCs with "Intel Clones" that perform as well as a PC with an original Intel CPU. This competition can only be good for you, the consumer!
