===Performance=== Although the small die size and low power-usage made the processor notably inexpensive to manufacture, it never gained much market share. WinChip C6 was a competitor to the [[Intel P5|Intel Pentium]] and [[Pentium MMX]], [[Cyrix 6x86]], and AMD K5/K6. It performed adequately, but only in applications that used little [[floating point]] math. Its floating point performance was simply well below that of the Pentium and K6, being even slower than the Cyrix 6x86.<ref>{{cite web |last=Pabst |first=Thomas |url=http://www.tomshardware.com/1997/10/09/the_idt_winchip_c6_cpu/ |title=The IDT WinChip C6 CPU |work=Tom's Hardware |date=9 October 1997 |accessdate=29 April 2007}}</ref>
