On the Transmeta Chip-- Its nice to that IBM has been involved with the Crusoe chip...Specifically, IBM will be manufacturing the chip. Geeshh, IBM is really getting into the mobile device scene (ie the Micodrive). And then there is the quote from below: "challenging dominant chip maker Intel." I'm just glad that EDIG is partnering with both Intel and IBM. idg.net CAN TRANSMETA THREATEN INTEL? IBM will manufacture startup's low-power-draw chip, says Financial Times. by Reuters January 14, 2000, 10:02 a.m. PT Startup Transmeta will launch a new low-energy-consuming microprocessor chip on January 19, challenging dominant chip maker Intel, according to a report in Friday's Financial Times. The report said the chip--the Crusoe Processor--would be smaller than its rivals and consume one-tenth as much power, but would still be powerful enough to run standard PC software. IBM will make the Transmeta chips, which could be on the market in the second quarter of the year, it added. Mystery had surrounded the launch of Transmeta's first product. Its Web site flagged it with a cryptic note saying: "We rethought the microprocessor to create a whole new world of mobility." Interest was further sparked by the involvement of Linus Torvalds, partner in Transmeta and founder of the Linux operating system. Copyright © 2000 Reuters Limited.
