The firm spent 5 years developing the processor. Announced in 1998, the chip never achieved widespread use, and Rise quietly exited the market in December of the following year. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) Like competitors Cyrix and IDT, Rise found it was unable to compete with Intel and AMD.
