“The availability of Cygnus GNUPro software technology for the
Intel Architecture will provide embedded designers access to tools
that maximize the performance of the processor architecture and MMX
technology,” said Tom Franz, vice president and general manager of
Intel’s Embedded Microcomputer Division.
Winning Intel’s business to optimize GNUPro software
technologies for Celeron and Pentium processors reinforces the
market leadership position of GNUPro,” said Alex Daly, president
and CEO of Cygnus. “This agreement also supports the Cygnus model
of driving open-source based technologies to deliver quality,
innovation, and functionality in the marketplace at a rate that
cannot be matched by the proprietary software model.”
