JF, from your article on Transmeta-based servers:

<RLX Technologies claims that two 550-MHz Crusoes can serve more Web pages per second for less power, space, and money than one 1-GHz Pentium.>

Uh huh. RLX is betting on a linear scalability of dual Crusoes, i.e. overall performance doubles as you double the number of Crusoe processors in a server (or Crusoe-based servers). They're betting on seeing this scalability in a processor geared much more towards low power than server scalability.

Call it a gut feeling, but I am extremely skeptical of such claims. It sounds a lot like a claim that Steve Jobs would make.
