Amy, you misread stribe30's post, Transmeta/AMD has been talked about extensively on the moderated thread. If you do a full text search, it seems like the majority of the SI posts on Transmeta are on the AMD mod thread, though SI's lame search engine leaves out the thread name for posts there. Scumbria, at least, thinks they have something on the ball engineering wise. See Message 14239550 and following discussion. I'm moderately skeptical myself, as you might surmise from old posts on Subject 23686 . I don't think it's quite fair to say that Transmeta is a purely business/marketing phenomena, though, especially compared to Intel's favorite tar baby, Rambus. The trouble with AMD-Transmeta, the only thing that would logically seem to be much of a big deal, near term anyway, would be a fab agreement, That would most likely be seen as a negative for AMD. AMD could use some help with power, but I'm somewhat dubious that Transmeta's tricks could be retrofitted in the near term. Cheers, Dan.
