What a Great PR for ARM. We have CeBits and all that stuff comming... Transmeta CEO have given the word: "Cellular phones became more pervasive when they were made smaller and provided greater battery life," said Dave Ditzel, Transmeta's CEO. "We believe that Crusoe will bring about a change of similar magnitude in Mobile Internet Computers." zdnet.com. zdii.com zdii.com. Crusoe may get comming web-pads and web books (HOME RF, Wireless Lan, you know). (which will kill home-game-pc market). No one has queston on price!? Cellphones chips are in some dollars per chip level! More expensive ones are for other martkets." Crusoe could not run by cellphone or by solarenergy: "The processors will be marketed for the mobile market and consume an average of 1 watt of power, which, according to Ditzel, will greatly enhance battery life". The ARM7TDMI consumes only 1.85mW per MHz. My old post, hmmm: Message 12581903 (other poster on energy news.cnet.com 526340 The low power Crusoe version was 1W at 400Mhz (voltage was not mentioned, guession ~2V). Todays CDMA phones use ARM cores with probably ~250mW at 200Mhz 2.0V. I think the Crusoe will be destined more for PDA than cell phones. In the white paper below, the power quoted was 1.85mW/Mhz by the author. I'm guessing this was at .35um and VDD=3V, so today it should be closed to .9-1mW/Mhz. arm.com Food for thought. Haven't even started talking about the code legacy ARM has and Crusoe doesn't have.) In yahoo-board some human is having a very interesting sideshow: He has a limited understanding on what mediaphones stand for, they are no home-pc's: (by: yourbankruptcy (30/M/NY) 1/19/00 3:04 pm Msg: 1513 of 1513 I just saw Crusoe running Quake II game on full speed. No way ARM can do :-)
