Who has the earliest Cyrix 6x86 - 100 MHz chip?

On this processor timeline website, http://processortimeline.info/proc1995.htm , it was mentioned that Cyrix began producing and shipping the 6x86 100 MHz chip in September of 1995, however I'd like to find some evidence of this. In the least, I would hope to uncover the earliest datecode for a Cyrix 6x86 - 100 MHz. I am speculating that if Cyrix was producing the 100 MHz part in Fall of 1995, that the 80 MHz parts are units which failed to qualify at 100 MHz.

This [new] thread is an offshoot of http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30181 , in which it was revealed from CPUShack's catalogue that the oldest 6x86-100 is from Week 49, 1995, yet the earliest datecode for the 6x86-80 is Week 40, 1995. Did it take 9 weeks for Cyrix to get a 100 MHz working? Is that processor timeline article wrong; perhaps the references were fed hopeful propaganda?

The sample set in CPUShack's catalogue was pretty small for the Cyrix 6x86-100 part, so would you guys be willing to track down your oldest Cyrix/IBM 6x86 100 MHz part and provide a photo of the datecode? Ideally, looking for Week 49-1995 and older. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Nice looking chip. I'm starting to think that the September shipping date for the Cyrix 6x86-100 was wishful thinking on the part of Cyrix.

Give it some time. I'm sure eventually an example will pop up.

Think so? The conclusion to the oldest 6x86-80 was reached within a matter of days. http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6515

There doesn't appear to be much interest from the crowd; I found it fascinating that the 6x86-100 was supposed to be the original 6x86.
