Thank you KLP. This story is on the ZDTV site. zdnet.com Transmeta's Mystery Unveiled Don't miss our exclusive live webcast of Transmeta's announcement and demo of Crusoe next Wednesday, January 19, at 12:00 PM ET/9:00 AM PT. By Iolande Bloxsom January 13, 2000 Transmeta is the tech version of Churchill's Russia-- a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. The only definitive things known about the company are from the two patents it filed last year and from its staff, which includes the high-profile Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux operating system. However, all this will change on Wednesday, when Transmeta officially announces and demos its Crusoe chip. It's the first-- and apparently the only-- product the firm has. It looks like this processor will combine simplicity of design with potentially powerful software "translation" capabilities. Whether it will focus on wireless products, however, or compete with Intel's main line of processors on the desktop front is still unknown. ZDTV News will have exclusive live video coverage of Transmeta's unveiling of Crusoe on Wednesday, January 19, at 12:00 PM Eastern (9:00 AM Pacific), in both RealPlayer and Windows Media Player. Make sure to bookmark this page for the webcast. Think Robinson, not the tenor... While there aren't any hard facts about Crusoe, speculation is rampant. The best infomation, from the EE Times, uses industry sources to speculate that Transmeta's new chip will be an embedded processor using a special technology to translate software quickly and efficiently. Linus Torvolds, part of the Transmeta team, said in his Comdex keynote speech that Crusoe would be essentially "software-powered." It might also be a very long instruction word (VLIW) processor. Insiders think Crusoe's debut Wednesday will be in a handheld device with browser capability, equipped with an embedded version of the Linux operating system. The only way to really know what Transmeta is up to is to check back here on Wednesday, January 19, for our special two-hour webcast. See you then.
