There is a Transmeta thread here, Subject 23686, though not very active, I contributed a little, somewhat skeptically, when it showed briefly on the "hot subjects" list. I thought the strangest thing about it was all the new, cool VLIW hype, an acronym Intel dare not speak, though it has invested much in the concept. See Message 12670860 for my somewhat sardonic take on the terminology angle.

The one thing I noticed about Transmeta that seemed like a good idea (though perhaps not that original) was the integrated north bridge. Considering how many pins come out of the north bridge chips, keeping the whole so-called FSB on the CPU chip seems like a good idea. Less so with AGP, but that's another "marchitecture" thing, as they'd say in the Register.

I wonder if Timna was originally marchitected for Rambus and is being furiously redesigned? What's on the roadmap for AMD, integration wise?

Cheers, Dan.
