Ted, re <Transmeta... their new chip is not a chip at all?>
Briefly looking at their 5 granted patents, their chip
may have a very sophisticated memory controller,
with a huge prefetch instruction cache, to
perform translation of massive code blocks. It looks
like the translation somehow happens on flight with
code fetching; they seem to plan to prefetch
everything so deep to preload all data such that
any CPU stalls will be eliminated. Hard to tell
for sure from that crazy legal patent language...
