Hi all; Register rumor on Transmeta mobile 1GHz, 5W processors:

Taipei Reliable sources close to Transmeta's plans say that the firm is likely to be able to introduce a chip in its Crusoe family running at 1GHz by the end of the year, and consuming only a paltry four to five watts.

That contrasts with a member of Intel's mobile Pentium III family, a 900MHz processor, which will also be available by year-end, but which pushes the power consumption boat up to 22 watts.

Anyone having any doubts as to what kind of memory Transmeta is likely to hook those processors up to is welcome to listen to the first part of this audio recording of their Platform 2000 talk (i.e. RDRAM is dead, dead, dead):
