They describe a chip that could run software not just written specifically for itself but for any other microprocessor such as Intel's Pentium or Sun's SPARC. Crusoe's versatility apparently comes because it is pre-programmed with "code-morphing" software, a sort of translator.

Sounds like the hardware version of Java. If it is, It will have the same drawback, it must translate everything first. This makes it generically slower than chips that don't translate, as Java is generically slower than the software it translates.
