Yougang,

Can Transmeta's power management technology be incorporated into mobile Athlons?

I'm sure that many of their techniques are applicable.

Power = c * v^2 * f

c= capacitance
v= voltage
f= frequency

Transmeta has optimized all three, and AMD has probably only done one of the three. AMD needs to learn how to dynamically drop frequency and voltage.

Capactitance is lowered by using smaller transistors, which AMD is undoubtably already doing for their mobiles.
