Geode / AMD Processors

• Geode series CPU on Wikipedia (MediaGX) • AMD AMD CPU on Wikipedia (2003)

The series was originally launched by National Semiconductor as the Geode family in 1999.

The original Geode processor core itself is derived from the Cyrix MediaGX platform, which

was acquired in National's merger with Cyrix in 1997. AMD bought the Geode business from

National in August 2003 to augment its existing line of embedded x86 processor products.

AMD discontinued all Geode processors in 2019.
