Rise Technology, was a short lived microprocessor manufacturer that produced the Intel x86 MMX compatible mP6 processor. A microprocessor incorporates most or all of the functions of a Central processing unit (CPU on a single Integrated See also X86 assembly language The generic term x86 refers to the most commercially successful Instruction set architecture in the history of Personal MMX is a single instruction multiple data (SIMD Instruction set designed by Intel, introduced in 1997 in their Pentium line of The MP6 was a Microprocessor designed by Rise Technology to compete with the Intel Pentium line
The Santa Clara, California based company was started by David Lin in 1993 with funding from 15 Taiwanese investors, including UMC, ACER and VIA Technologies.

UMC ( United Microelectronics Corporation) was founded as Taiwan's first Semiconductor company in 1980 as a spin-off of the government-sponsored institute ITRI Acer Incorporated ( ( is a Taiwanese multinational electronics manufacturer VIA Technologies ( is a Taiwanese manufacturer of Integrated circuits mainly Motherboard Chipsets CPUs, and memory, and After multiple company restructurings, the mP6 was announced at the end of 1998 and went into small production in 1999. The MP6 was a Microprocessor designed by Rise Technology to compete with the Intel Pentium line The device was meant for the low-end, low-power segment of laptop computers. Finding itself unable to compete in the computing market with the larger vendors (Intel and AMD), Rise re-targeted itself to set-top boxes and internet appliances. A set-top box (STB or set-top unit (STU is a device that connects to a Television and an external source of signal, turning the signal into Towards that goal, Rise licensed their cores to STMicroelectronics. STMicroelectronics (,)is an franco-italian Electronics and Semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in in Geneva, Switzerland. The company was acquired by SiS at the end of 1999 [1]. Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS Traditional Chinese: 矽統科技) is a company that manufactures among other things motherboard chipsets
